Orientation

Fall 2009 starts August 24, 2009 - ends December 7, 2009

Spring 2010 starts January 11, 2010 - ends April 26, 2010

Summer 2010 starts May 17, 2010 - ends August 6, 2010

As a cost effective measure the faculty in the program have opted to discontinue the face to face orientation. If you have questions regarding your upcoming course, we recommend contacting the Instructor for the course - see Schedule of Courses.

We highly recommend reviewing the instructional videos created on our program web link - Online Resources.

In addition, once your web course has opened for the upcoming semester you will be required to complete an Orientation Activity. Many of the questions will be answered once you have completed this first assignment.

The first project in each course is verification that you have completed our On-line Orientation. When you are provided access to your courses there will be a Discussion Area titled "Online Orientation." You will be required to write one posting verifying the completion and acceptance of requirements set forth in this activity.

You may access this activity now and save your posting reply for a copy and paste posting later, even though course access is not available until the first day of class.
