Welcome to your School Orientation! If you're a new student, the most important thing for you to do right now is to read the Getting Started section of your binder. It includes information on contacting your instructors, saving and submitting assignments, technical support, and our academic policies.
If you prefer, the whole Getting Started section is also available online, in addition to some extra articles:
The Distance Education Experience (website only)
How to Use Your Binder
Office & Instructor InformationTips for Online Success (website only)
Frequently Asked Questions (website only)
The next thing you should do after reading the information above is to check your Assignment List tab. This includes a table of assignments that you are to follow. Each week you have a horizontal row of things you must do for that week: pages to read, exercises to follow, and assignments to submit. ALWAYS follow your assignment list.
The most important thing you can remember is to submit an assignment EACH AND EVERY WEEK. Not only will this ensure your successful completion of your program, on time, but each month we have contest draws - those students who kept in touch for the entire month are put into a draw for some great prizes.
