Once you complete your online orientation, you will receive a follow-up email that includes your advisor’s information. Please connect with your advisor to confirm you have selected the correct classes, and to address any additional questions you may have. If you are unable to complete the online orientation, please email pat@lsc.edu or call (218) 733-7601 and we will help you find a solution.
