New Student Orientation
Orientation
Upon acceptance to the university, all students will be automatically enrolled in the new student orientation course. An email will be sent to students with enrollment information. The Orientation is a self-paced course, facilitated by the Front Porch team, which will provide students with information about LeTourneau history, how to use Blackboard, understanding the degree requirements, registration information, and other helpful information for their student experience. All new students are required to complete the orientation course. Undergraduate students with fewer than 30 hours of transfer credit and undergraduate students admitted on Academic Probation or Academic Observation will take LETU 1073 Strategies for Adult Learning in their first semester.
ASSIST Program
Beginning fall 2011, undergraduate students admitted on Academic Probation or Academic Observation will also be enrolled in the ASSIST program. This program is designed to provide supplemental academic instruction and guidance to the non-traditional students through their first-year college experience. The program is designed to help students be successful as they transition from one semester to the next with the goal of reaching graduation. During the first year experience, ASSIST students will work very closely with their Academic and Retention Advisor to ensure they are enrolled in the correct courses, complete the appropriate diagnostic exams, and receive tutorial assistance as needed.
