Admitted students who have registered for orientation will be added to a online course based on their confirmed orientation session. After a student signs up for orientation, they will also be contacted to schedule an appointment with their academic advisor. The advisor will offer assistance with course registration virtually as part of the online orientation. For most students, this meeting will take place prior to the student's meeting with their orientation leader, but it could also take place after depending on availability. Details will be provided to the student via email.
