What Is Orientation & Why You Should Do It

Orientation is for you. It’s designed to help you develop the fundamental skills you need to succeed in and out of the classroom. Through orientation, you’ll become acquainted with the people and resources that will help you in your studies. Make sure you attend to learn how to navigate Blackboard, practice using discussion boards, discover who’s who in the University, and gain various study and time management tips.
