This is a self-paced orientation you can complete at any time. The online orientation will familiarize you with academics, campus life, student resources, and next steps. Information in this orientation is presented on the Blackboard Learning Management System, and students will need to use their student login credentials to access it. At the end of each section, you will take a short quiz, which lets us know you completed each part of the orientation.
