**Spring Orientation**
Although you have been through an orientation at your previous institution, Drexel's academic and campus support environment is very different than what you have experienced in the past. Therefore, it is very important that you take the time to view the resources we have provided for you online and attend the in-person Meet and Greet on Wednesday, April 3rd. Orientation Online One of the academic systems you will be using during your time here at Drexel is BBLearn - an online classroom system where syllabi, lecture notes and other academic resources will be posted for your reference and use. As such, we have posted Orientation presentations for you to view in BBLearn. Please view all Orientation sessions that apply to you - there are sessions specifically for Veteran and International students that will not apply to everyone. To access the online presentation, please follow the below instructions: - Go to: http://learn.drexel.edu - Log-in using your Drexel username and password - Once on the home screen for BBLearn, go to the box or channel on the right hand side entitled "My Organizations" and click on the New Student Orientation Link - Once on the New Student Orientation Page, go to the left hand navigation bar and click on the link entitled "Content." Here you will be able to view all online Orientation sessions - To complete your Orientation online requirement, complete the assessment at the bottom of the page in reference to the videos you just watched. - To complete your Orientation requirement fully, please see the Information below about the "Meet and Greet" taking place on Wednesday, April 3rd. Orientation In-Person Orientation Meet and Greet The Orientation "Meet and Greet" will provide you with the opportunity to meet with your fellow transfer students, as well as meet your Commuter and Transfer Assistants, representatives from your academic college, and members of the Veterans Student Committee.
