What will you be responsible for understanding at the conclusion of Orientation?

At the conclusion of Orientation, understanding the Competency-Based Model, navigation of the WGU Student Portal, and WGU's faculty model is essential for your success as a student in this program. The Competency-Based Model is fundamental to how learning is structured at WGU, allowing you to progress at your own pace based on demonstrating your knowledge and skills in various subjects.

Navigating the WGU Student Portal is crucial for accessing resources, submitting assignments, tracking your progress, and communicating with faculty and peers. Familiarity with the faculty model ensures you know how to interact with your instructors, understand their role in your education, and utilize their support effectively.

While the Course Catalog and Schedule and the Financial Aid Process are important components of your overall experience, they do not encompass the comprehensive understanding needed for effective participation in WGU's unique educational environment. The foundational concepts related to the learning model and support systems are necessary for you to navigate your education successfully.
