DEO 100 will be required for all students declaring a program or degree offered exclusively in the online modality. Students completing the orientation will earn a non-credit bearing certificate by completing required assessments in the LMS, tracked, monitored and collected by Online Education. The orientation will be graded on a Pass/No Pass basis. Additionally, it will be a prerequisite for all DE students enrolled in CIM 102-0L-Introduction to Computers.
