Walsh College - Office of Online Learning

Online Course Orientation is a prerequisite for taking your first online course at Walsh College. You have a choice of formats. You may either come to a classroom session, or you may take the orientation course online. Register for an orientation session through regular registration procedures.

Reminder: If you choose to complete the orientation session online, you will have access to online orientation materials well before the semester starts. Alternatively, orientation sessions will take place in the classroom just before the start of each semester. Please consult the Orientation Calendar for details.

On-Site Orientation

On-Line Orientation

The on-site orientation takes place at one of the Walsh campuses. We offer a variety of times and dates to work within your busy schedule. You may want to consider taking the On-Site Orientation if:

You would prefer to have face to face guidance to learn to use the Walsh Online course platform.
You have never taken an On-Line course before.
You are not comfortable exploring computer functionality on your own.

Decide which session will best fit your schedule using the Orientation Calendar, and register for the OOL 001 section of your choice, just as you would register for any other course.

The online orientation is only for those students that feel comfortable with computers, the internet and the online environment. Choose to complete the orientation requirement online if:

You have taken an online course before and feel comfortable in that environment.
You are comfortable with basic web functions such as links, navigation, bookmarks and printing.
You are familiar with basic windows functions such as copying and pasting text, resizing windows and saving files.
You can send and read email with attachments.

To complete the orientation online, you must do the following:

Register for the Orientation session (OOL 001 in the schedule of classes) the same way you register for an academic course--via the registration process.
After you have officially registered, log in at the Walsh Online Home Page (Note, please allow time for your registration to process).
Your username is the same as your Walsh email username. For example, John Doe's Walsh email address would be jdoe@mail.walshcollege.edu. He would log into the orientation (and subsequent online courses as follows:
