16.0 New Student Orientation
Purpose
Orientation is provided to inform new students regarding the School of Health Professions policies, facilities, and programs.
Policy Statement
An orientation program will be held for all students who register at the School of Health Professions. The orientation will include a number of sessions designed to provide detailed information about various aspects of your life as a student in this School. A final schedule of events will be mailed to each student prior to the Fall term. All distance-education students will be required to spend a two-week orientation on the Houston Campus.
During orientation, the School staff will discuss many academic topics, including registration, course selection, program affiliation and facilities. Talks by other campus representatives will focus on student safety and health and personal needs of students. A significant amount of time will be devoted to presentations by directors on program-specific information and requirements.
