Orientation Information for Online Master's Students
Our Population and Health Sciences students are primarily oriented through a specially
designed Onboarding and Advising course which begins an online student's journey on
the Coursera platform. The Onboarding course consists of a series of self-paced modules
that guide students in preparation for the start of classes. This course offers guidance
and resources to help students navigate the university, school, and program, as well
as the platforms and technologies we use.
All incoming online master’s students will receive an email from Coursera to join
the Onboarding & Advising site.
The Onboarding course is made available to matriculated students in the months before
their classes begin. They will also be able to refer back to this course and it's
content anytime during their program. If you are a matriculated student who has not
received information on the onboarding course, please be sure to contact the Population
and Health Sciences Program Manager Lisa Garber.
While online students are not required to attend any in-person orientation session,
our incoming students are always welcome to plan a visit to our campus. For more information
on visiting the School of Public Health as well as COVID-19 safety policies and procedures,
visit the school's main orientation page.
