Welcome to the Nebraska Methodist College Online Student Orientation.  As an NMC Online student, you can expect to experience a holistic culture of caring, while mastering the art and science of healthcare.  You will gain the skills and experience needed to make outstanding contributions to society, with community-based education and leadership development integrated throughout the curricula.  We recognize that online learners have specialized needs that are different from those of students in a traditional classroom setting.  We appreciate that our students come to us with diverse backgrounds and rich life experiences.  We know that the majority of our online students are working full time, and balancing multiple responsibilities, while furthering their education.  This diversity in experience and lifestyle is a beneficial foundation for online learning, which will enrich your experience as a student, as well as influence the educational experience of your classmates. 

In preparation for this life changing experience, we ask that you take some time to work through this Online Student Orientation, prior to beginning your first course.  It is imperative to your success as a student that you know how to use the student portal, and that you are aware of the resources available to you as an online student.  We recommend that you use Google Chrome as your browser when opening this orientation, as some users have experienced difficulty viewing all of the content when using other browsers.
