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. 

Online MLIS Orientation Week Calendar: September 22-25, 2010

*Note that at orientation the new students will be assigned to a specific group (A or B) for the purpose of attending workshops.
