NEW STUDENT RESOURCE GUIDE

Information & Resources for the Transition to Rollins

Communication E-Mails

Make sure you are constantly checking your e-mails (both Emory and personal) for orientation communications! Sometimes, e-mails end up in the junk folder, so make sure to check there too!

TIP: If e-mails keep getting sent to your junk folder, add the sender to your address book.

Admitted Student Portal

The admitted student portal includes pertinent information for your successful transition to Rollins. You will find the new student checklist, information on academic advising, news about New Student Orientation, next steps, and other easy to access links here.

Facebook Page

The Class of 2021 Facebook Page is an informal place to post questions and begin networking with peers. It is also a place where Orientation Coordinators and staff will post announcements. Facebook is used as a supplementary tool to share information, but all vital information will be shared through other means, such as the orientation communications.

DUO Emory

DUO is a required Emory service that ensures secure access to OPUS and your Emory e-mail. Follow this link to activate your account: duo.emory.edu. The Duo Mobile app can be downloaded through Google Play and the App Store.

TIP: Download the Duo app on your mobile device to quickly authenticate logins through push notifications.

OPUS

This is the one-stop-shop for many important items including viewing financial aid and course planning and enrollment. You can also access important health information and request or view your transcript. You may already be familiar with OPUS as it is where you informed admissions of your decision to attend Rollins.

TIP: Check the “Tasks” tile and complete to-do’s to prevent potential holds on your account.

Canvas

Canvas will be one of the main sites you will use during your time at Rollins. All course information including grades and assignments will be posted by your course instructor and teaching assistants.

TIP: Check Canvas periodically, as professors will sometimes post syllabi before classes begin.

Handshake

Many REAL and non-REAL students will use Handshake in their job search. Organizations from near and far post their openings for internships, part-time, and full-time positions.

TIP: Handshake access opens for incoming students on August 1, 2019.
