Online Learning Modules
Your Online Learning Modules are now available. These modules are a crucial part of your New Student Orientation as they are designed to help you learn the process of course registration, navigate your student accounts, fee payment and introduce you to the student supports and services offered throughout your academic journey. These modules can be completed at your own pace, and you have access to them throughout the year.
You can access the modules by login into https://my.nipissingu.ca/ with your Nipissing University student credentials, click on Orientation Modules and find the module that applies to your program. You will be prompted to enroll in the Orientation module that you have selected - "click submit". You should see a notification indicating that you've successfully enrolled in the organization. Once you do, Click the "OK" in the bottom right and begin your module.
When you need to reference this orientation module again in the future, you can find it by clicking on the Organizations tab on the left-hand navigation pane immediately upon logging into Blackboard.
Here is an additional reference on how to access your orientation module: Orientation Module Access.
