Students are required to attend a New Student Orientation Day several months before starting classes, as well as an introductory day when the program starts. Sessions will be held to discuss the academic and clinical requirements of the program, introduce students to the student handbook, review technology requirements, and orient students to the program.
Students are also required to complete an online New Student Orientation Course before starting classes, which will help students prepare for the program and acclimate to the learning management system and other technology used in the program.
These orientations will include a review of the student handbook, along with other onboarding requirements. Classroom activities will be held to assist in building community within the cohort. During the first week of classes, students will attend their semester 1 classes and begin to acclimate to MTSA.
