           There will be two FIU Online Student Orientations for the Spring 2010 Term. One will be held online and one will be held on campus. These orientations will cover the fundamentals of learning online. It is highly recommended that students who have never taken an online course attend one of these orientations. We also advise you to check our website for program requirements, online registration, and new updates about online courses.<br><br>Spring 2010 FIU Online Student Orientation Schedule:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">1st Orientation (Online Session):</span><br>Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm (link will be provided soon)<br><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2nd Orientation (On-Campus Session):</span><br>Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm (MARC 115)<br><br>Although not mandatory, attending one of these student orientations will save you from having to get answers to common questions throughout the semester!<br>
