LC Online Orientation

President Jim Dlugos, Ph.D:

VP for Academic Affairs Karrie Kalich, Ph.D:

To support your strong connection to programming and community, the LC team has designed an orientation program to help you prepare for classes and to introduce you to your fellow online students. Important materials that you access on your own time include:

• The Student Onboarding Portal: This portal contains important documents and activities for you to complete before classes begin. When you are accepted to Landmark, you'll receive login credentials to access the Onboarding Portal.

Synchronous (live) orientation sessions will be offered on the Thursday and Friday before classes begin, and include:

• Welcome address from the College President and senior administrators
• Online student welcome and introduction to social activities options, including an online game night
• “Navigating Online Courses” – an introduction to Canvas and how to navigate your courses
• “Preparing for Your First Week” – an introduction to some of the most important systems and software you’ll be using as a Landmark student
• Panel of LC Online faculty discussing their approach to teaching and supporting neurodivergent students online

Online orientation for families begins on the Thursday before classes start and includes:

• Welcome address from the College President and senior administrators
• “Supporting Your Online Student” – a session to discuss ways that families can support their students as they embark on their online studies at Landmark
• Panel of LC Online faculty discussing their approach to teaching and supporting neurodivergent students online
