To Begin This Orientation

- First, congratulations on your acceptance into the IUSSW MSW program and welcome to the IUE Campus.
  
  Welcome to the e-orientation to the IUE MSW Program. This self-paced, self-managed orientation provides you with the information necessary to understand and meet University, program, and professional standards and requirements. Further, this orientation provides information relevant to your degree planning and course sequencing. Finally, it serves to help acclimate you with the campus and the Social Work faculty and staff.
  
  This orientation is comprised of seven (7) modules, which you are required to work through sequentially, including completion of Reflection/Review Activities, to earn a Certificate of Completion. Each Reflection/Review Activity is worth 5 points, and you must score at least 4 out of 5 on each Activity to earn your certificate. You have unlimited attempts to retake each activity, and the highest score will count toward your overall completion score for these modules.
  
  To get started:
  1. Click on the "Modules" tab in the left-hand navigation.
  2. Click on the "M1 Overview" page and sequentially work your way through each page of the module.
  3. Once you've read through the information presented on a page proceed to the next Module. Complete the Quiz or Activity associated with each Module. Repeat this process for each module within the course to receive your Certificate of Completion.
  4. Please complete the orientation no later than the Sunday before your classes begin. Though, you might find it helpful to complete the Orientation soon rather than later.
  Again, congratulations on being accepted to the MSW program, and good luck. We look forward to getting to know you in the coming semesters!
