The Online Onboarding is designed to help you access information about MSJ, complete required tasks, and familiarize you with campus resources all in one streamlined location. This does not replace the in-person Orientation or Welcome Weekend events, be sure to attend those events.
The Online Onboarding course opens on Blackboard on June 1st and remains open the entire summer to serve as a resource page and contact venue if you have any questions.
