Quick Answer
Student Orientation (Welcome Class) takes place the week before each academic term begins and introduces MUST University's mission, vision, policies, and support resources. Attendance is strongly recommended for new students and for students returning after reentry.
How It Works
The Student Orientation session, also called Welcome Class, is held the week before each academic term (term or semester) begins. It was created to support students' transition to MUST University, helping familiarize new students and returning (reentry) students with the institution's structure, resources, and academic expectations.
During Orientation/Welcome Class, students are introduced to the university's mission, vision, policies, and regulations. The session also covers study strategies, academic standards, counseling resources, and professional ethics.
Attendance is strongly recommended for new students and for reentry students (those returning to the university). Orientation/Welcome Class is an opportunity to develop effective study habits, get to know your chosen field of study better, and start building connections with classmates, professors, and university staff.
After Orientation/Welcome Class, the Student Handbook provides additional information about the distance learning platform (Moodle) used by MUST University, including tutorials on navigating the virtual learning environment.
