PROGRAM INFORMATION INFORMATION FOR ONLINE STUDENTS
Learning Management System The fully online format, all course work will be submitted using the learning management system CANVAS. You will learn how to use CANVAS through the New Student Orientation, the link for which is emailed to you upon registration. Your Student Success Coach will also assist you in getting acclimated to the system. Technical support is available through accessing the IT Helpdesk as well as within the CANVAS Help section. Synchronous Classes For all classes that are taught in the fully online format there will be 6-8 hours of synchronous class time. What this means is that all of the students and the instructor will meet together at a pre-determined time to go over class material and discuss class concepts. These sessions will be conducted utilizing Zoom, an online meeting tool that allows us to share PowerPoints, utilize audio and video as well as be able to chat via text. You will be required to have a computer or tablet that has a camera and a microphone (either internal or external) in order to attend and participate in the classes.
Residencies All students in the online format of the program will be required to attend 4 weekend-long residencies during their time in the program. The residencies will take place in the fall and spring sessions. There will be morning and afternoon sessions on Friday and Saturday, and a morning session on Sunday to allow for traveling on Sunday evening if necessary. These sessions will serve to provide you the opportunity to learn and practice your counseling skills as well as be involved in experiential learning for each of the core areas of counseling practice. It is imperative that the students read the pre-residency materials that will be provided one month prior to the residency dates and come prepared to discuss the concepts and participate in all activities.
