Important information regarding New Student Orientation

Information regarding medical and religious exemptions can be found on the Student Health Center website. Exemptions must be submitted via the Healthy Broncs portal.

All students are required to sign the Financial Enrollment Agreement, which can be found on the myRider portal. 

Acknowledgement of this agreement is required as a condition of enrollment for the fall semester, and it must be completed even if you have already completed your Financial Agreement to Register (enroll).

The deadline to complete this document is no later than the day prior to your arrival on campus if you will be a residential student, or the first day of classes, if you are a commuter student or taking online classes only. Every student will have a hold on their student account that will be only removed once this agreement is signed. 

Please see detailed instructions on how to navigate through myRider to find and sign this document for both a desktop computer as well as a mobile device.

In summary, 

1. Log into myRider and select the Student tab.
2. Click on Financial Agreement under the Announcements banner OR under the Register banner. Both will take you to the same page containing the agreements.
3. Click "Financial Agreement.” This link will bring up the agreement.
4. Review the Financial Agreement to Enroll.
5. Once you have read and understand the Financial Agreement to Enroll, click “I agree to the terms & conditions” or “I disagree/Return to Registration page.”

If you select “I agree to the terms & conditions,” you will see a message, “There are no incomplete Agreements at this time.”

If you select “I disagree/Return to Student tab,” you will be redirected to the link for the Financial Agreement and you will be unable to enroll in the fall semester.
