  • ONLINE ORIENTATION

    Your required Online Orientation will open August 1. Once open, it will populate to your courses on the D2L site as “College of Law Online Orientation”.This required orientation includes vital information to ease your transition into law school, as well as college and university policies and procedures that you will need to be aware of during your first year and beyond.

    If you did not use D2L at your previous institution and would like to get an early start with the platform, the student D2L training course contains video tutorials covering the most commonly used aspects of the D2L Learning Environment.
