Welcome to Summer 2012 Orientation!

Due to construction, orientation will be on-line for summer 2012. We have prepared the information below just for you. After watching and reading the materials (which should take approximately one hour) you will complete a quick assessment in Blackboard. The information you receive at orientation is vital and, therefore, you are required to successfully complete the assessment before you can begin classes.

Students who plan to complete the School Library Media program are required to attend a live on-campus session on August 18, 2012.
