PRO TIP: IF YOU'RE ON YOUR PHONE, DON'T TOUCH THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. TOUCH TO THE RIGHT OF THE WORDS IN THE GREY BOXES. If you touch the words, you won't see anything. Why? I don't know. Ask Steve Jobs, or that little green robot thing.
PRE-WELCOME WEEK | AUGUST 16-25
To help you prepare for coming to campus and Welcome Week, we’ve put together some modules on Canvas for you to review on your own time. Review all the modules at once or one module a day. These modules are not required for new students, but highly encouraged for ultimate success.
