Congratulations on your acceptance into the IUSSW MSW program, Advanced Standing on the South Bend campus! Welcome to "MSW e-Orientation: A Guide to Graduate Level Social Work". This self-paced, self-managed e-orientation provides you with information necessary to understand and meet University, program, and professional standards and requirements. It also provides relevant information on your degree plan and course sequencing. You will be able to come back and reference the information in this orientation site at any time after completion. In addition to the virtual Zoom new MSW student orientation, this is another touch point to help acclimate you to the IU South Bend MSW program. The virtual Zoom campus orientation is scheduled for Thursday evening August 6th from 5-7:30. Please mark this on your calendar, you will receive more information about this event in July.

The course is comprised of six (6) 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 24 out of 30 total points possible to earn your certificate. However, you have multiple attempts to retake each activity, and the highest score will count toward your overall completion grade for this course. You will not be able to register for your MSW classes until you have earned this certificate and it has been received or completion verified by your academic adviser.

Upon completion of all the modules, you will see information about next steps, including registration instructions for Fall 2020 classes.

To get started:

Click on the "Modules" tab in the left-hand navigation.
Click on the "M1 Overview" page and sequentially work your way through each page of the module.
Once you've read through the information presented on a page, mark the page as "Done". You must mark each page within a module as "Done" to advance to the next module. You will be required to repeat this process for each module within the course to receive your Certificate of Completion.
Please complete the orientation by midnight on Sunday, August 16, 2020. You must earn a score of 24 out of 30 to earn the Certificate of Completion.

Again, congratulations on being accepted to the MSW program, and good luck. We look forward to getting to know you over the next couple of years!
