How Do you Access Virtual Orientation
Virtual Orientation is supported through Rutger University’s Learning Management System, Canvas. Canvas is the platform many of our faculty use and where the majority of your student’s coursework will be located. You will receive access details and instructions via email one week prior to your session. Please note, the email used to reserve your tickets will be the same email we send instructions.
Virtual Orientation is split into two sections a 3 hour synchronous section – everyone logs in at the same time to receive live/real-time information and an asynchronous section – complete different modules at your own speed – that can take up to 3 hours to complete. Please make sure you leave plenty of time to complete each portion of the program.
Our orientation staff team will be available to assist with your Virtual Orientation experience and/or questions about your transition to Rutgers University. Please feel free to contact us at ruparents@echo.rutgers.edu or 848-445-0572.
