Part one of your orientation will be available to you online through Canvas beginning July 8th. Online Orientation consists of ten informative modules that provide you with the information you need to rise and succeed as a new Phoenix. 

This first part of orientation is a requirement for all new students and should be completed no later than Aug 22nd. You can do all the orientation modules at once, or complete them a little at a time – however you choose to learn, be sure you’re all done before the first day of class on August 23rd

Canvas is an online course management tool that professors will utilize to display course-related content. This is the platform you will use to access the New Student Orientation modules. All the modules will be available beginning July 1st.  

To login, visit https://cumberland.instructure.com/login and enter your student email (example JSmith12@students.cumberland.edu) and email password. If you have trouble accessing Canvas or your student email, email support@cumberland.edu.

Part one of Orientation will count as a grade in your Foundations in Scholarship and Learning (FSL) class, which means you’ll want to be sure to allow enough time to complete all of the modules before your first day of class. Who doesn’t like the idea of getting an A on the first day?

Mark your calendar for Friday, August 20th at 1 p.m.! We’ll be gathering on campus to welcome you and all your fellow Phoenix to CU! The fun continues through the weekend with exciting events on both Saturday and Sunday. This event is very important and is a requirement for all new students to attend.

Parent Orientation will run concurrently on campus with the student orientation agenda on Friday, August 20, 2021.
