Welcome to the School of Continuing & Professional Studies
The goal of this asynchronous orientation is to introduce you to the online learning environment and to offer you effective strategies for becoming a successful online learner. By the end of this orientation you will have the foundational knowledge you need to engage in your courses, access required class readings and materials, communicate with peers and faculty, and complete course expectations.
To begin, simply scroll down to “Get Prepared” and click through each module. After completing the modules, you will find an Online Student Survey, which we may use to evaluate how well the online orientation is preparing students for online learning. It is recommended that you set aside one hour for the completion of this orientation, as each lesson takes about15 to 20 minutes to complete. -

SCPS Advising Mission
The School of Continuing & Professional Studies (SCPS) is dedicated to supporting the College mission by encouraging, guiding, teaching, and empowering students towards success, both in their academic endeavors, and lifelong activities by becoming active learners and having a superior moral compass. The SCPS is dedicated to providing a quality learning experience for all students. The SCPS unites and integrates the student community with all the resources and people who share the mission of the College.
Academic Advising is the ongoing process throughout the College in order to clarify and re-evaluate academic goals and plans. It helps an individual examine personal, educational, and career goals, and understand how students’ courses fit into their goals for the future. Most importantly, it requires active participation between the advisor AND the student. Advising is mandatory for all SCPS students during every semester and at any point the student fails to make satisfactory academic progress. The student’s academic advisor is available to guide the student throughout the time at the College.
During the first semester of matriculation, the student's academic advisor or program director pre-registers all new incoming students to their semester courses. Once the first semester has been completed, the student is required to attend an advising session every semester or meet with their academic advisor to review the student's academic plan. -
