Orientation

All students are required to complete the online orientation course called the RN to BSN Online 101 course. It is mandatory and must be completed by the first day of courses.

Because students are required to do this online orientation, they are not required to participate in the on-campus orientation put on by the campus orientation office.

RN to BSN Online 101 is housed within the student course portal called Canvas. It is set up in a series of modules that help students get familiar with program expectations and the user interface and processes of Canvas as a system (Canvas will house all RN to BSN coursework once a student registers).

Throughout the orientation, students will be asked to complete a series of tasks, i.e. mock assignments and quizzes. After the orientation is complete, students will still have access to the RN to BSN Online 101 course throughout the RN to BSN program. It will serve as a resource for students, and program announcements, such as information about graduation, may be communicated through this course.
