Online MLIS Orientation Week
The Online MLIS Orientation Week serves as the kick-off for newly admitted students, and typically takes place the week prior to the start of autumn quarter (during the third or fourth week of late September). It is the student's responsibility to make appropriate plans for missing work or other engagements, as well as plan for travel costs and lodging expense during this mandatory week on campus in Seattle. After that, course delivery will be Internet-based.

Note on discontinuation of class-related on-campus residencies:
Begining in summer 2009, there are no more required residencies for online courses. This means that students need not come to campus, and out-of-area students need not plan on or pay for lodging or transportation to Seattle. The only mandatory time on campus will be for first year students starting the Online MLIS program - the Online MLIS Orientation Week, which will take place in late September each year.
