POST-ORIENTATION ASSISTANCE
- This orientation contains extensive information on course selection, which is also applicable to students who are “undecided” about their educational goals and are exploring their options. This orientation has been developed to provide our students with information to assist them in actively participating in their educational planning. Students will have the option talking briefly with an Express Counselor after completing the orientation. Express Counseling has been developed specifically to address students’ quick questions. Express Counseling is not extensive educational planning sessions. Any educational plans provided will be similar to the sample educational plans, which are provided later in this orientation.
