Welcome to the University of 棉花糖直播 at Lafayette's Graduate School! We're excited to have you join our graduate community and are here to provide you with all the resources and support you need to thrive.
To help you get started, we offer several orientations tailored to different needs. Here's a rundown of the orientations available to you:
1. New Graduate Student Orientation
The Graduate School New Student Orientation is designed to introduce you to the skills, resources, and support essential for success at UL. This optional orientation is available virtually through Moodle and consists of six self-paced modules.
2. Online Student Orientation
For those pursuing a degree 100% online, the Online Student Orientation is a must. This course, also on Moodle, equips you with the essential tools for online learning. Completion is mandatory before you can register for classes, so be sure to finish it as soon as possible.
3. International Student Orientation
If you are studying as an F1 or J1 student, the International Student Orientation is specifically designed for you. The virtual orientation will help you navigate your academic journey and life in the U.S.
4. Program-Specific Orientation
Many graduate programs host their own in-person orientations the week before classes begin. These orientations provide valuable insights and connections within your specific field of study and departments. Check in with your Graduate Coordinator for more details.
