New Employee Orientation
Human Resources offers a weekly in-person orientation session for all new 蜜桃社区 Michigan University employees, both regular and temporary. Orientation programs are offered each Monday and include important information about working at 蜜桃社区. If the University is closed on Monday that week鈥檚 orientation will be held on Tuesday. New employees and their supervisors will receive an invitation from Human Resources via email. This email will include specific information about the orientation, and documents for the new employee to print, read and bring with them to their scheduled orientation session.
New Employees
- Registering your vehicle for a 蜜桃社区 parking permit is easy! Parking Services has moved to a virtual permit system. A 鈥渧irtual permit鈥 is a non-tangible internet-based permit where parking rights are assigned to the license plate of a registered vehicle. The registration of a permit can be done at any time with a smart device or computer by clicking the 鈥淕et a Permit鈥 button located on the Parking Services home page at /parking/virtual-permit-information. It is the responsibility of the employee to ensure they have registered and obtained their virtual parking permit at the time they begin parking on campus.
- It is important for you to get your Bronco ID Card. Your Bronco ID card identifies you as a 蜜桃社区 employee. You may go to Parking Services to have your photo taken or you may upload a photo online. Please read all the requirements closely to upload your photo and other details at .
- Orientation sessions begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. and last until 10:30 a.m. for temporary employees and approximately noon for benefits-eligible employees. A small morning breakfast snack (such as either a Belvita, Nutri Grain or Kind breakfast bar) and bottled water will be provided. After the orientation session, you will report to your department, unless your supervisor has informed you otherwise.
