All students have access and the platform is ADA-compliant. Students can complete orientation from their phone, at home, virtually wherever they are. Content is available in English and Spanish. Since we launched, we have had zero complaints.
Students are completing “Mount 101” (online orientation program) at a faster rate. With “Mount 101,” the are getting their advising appointment within 48 hours and registering within a week. “Mount 101” has actually deterred our summer melt numbers quite a bit.

With the new online platform, students stay engaged with video content, game-based learning for knowledge checks, and other interactive elements. Staff and administration have access to reporting features, and the platform automatically notifies students who have not completed the orientation.
