Orientation

Welcome to Orientation

Orientation is the first day of class. It establishes guidelines and expected outcomes. The goal is to better familiarize students with how the system works so that they can function properly. Orientation makes knowing what you are supposed to do and how to do it common knowledge.

This page introduces the basic documents, policies, and navigation tools that help students understand Malone Global University. Before using the larger library, departments, lessons, guides, and reference systems, students should know the purpose of the institution, the expectations for conduct, and the layout of the website.

The orientation materials are meant to create a shared starting point. Students should read each required page carefully so that later study, research, and participation can happen with fewer questions about where to go, what the rules are, and how the academic environment is organized.
