Graduate Degree
Orientation at Globe University-Online is more than learning about our school. Our orientation requires you to learn Blackboard, the course management system that you use when you take online classes. By the time you are actually in an online class, you will have mastered the details of the software and will be ready to study online.

Goals of online orientation
In addition to familiarizing students with our course delivery system, our orientation process ensures that students have access to the correct equipment. Otherwise, they may be unable to take advantage of all the resources and support we offer. And by completing the Blackboard tutorial, you find out what online learning is like. When your academic classes start, you will be ready.
Save time — do more
Many students report that continuing the Blackboard tutorial beyond the required first section is a big help as they progress through their online courses. They are better prepared, able to take advantage of all the features of the software and spend less time trying to resolve problems. This gives them more time for learning.
Help is just a click away
If you have trouble during the required orientation or once you’ve started your online degree, our help desk is there to for you. Staffed many hours per week by friendly and knowledgeable specialists, our help desk can be contacted by phone, e-mail or webmail. Our online support is a great feature of our distance learning programs.
