My Methodist and You
For any student, preparation is key and will help you be successful. One great way to prepare for your coursework is to complete this orientation.
We recognize that online learners have needs that are different from those of students in a traditional classroom setting, and we have made this orientation to benefit you specifically. 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, My Methodist, and that you are aware of the resources available to you as an online student. You will utilize My Methodist for a majority of your school work, including accessing syllabi and turning in assignments.
Please be aware that if you are using an iPad or other mobile device, some information on the orientation and in My.MethodistCollege.edu will be rearranged or look different.
