As a new student preparing for class, Walden recommends that you complete the Student Readiness Orientation (SRO) prior to the start of your first class. The SRO found within the myWalden University Student Portal. The SRO is your introduction to the essential resources you need as you begin your journey at Walden. The goal of the SRO is to support your academic, practical, and emotional preparedness as you begin your program at Walden.

The Modules of the Student Readiness Orientation include the following: 

1. Module Introduction: Learn about the focus of each module. 
2. Self-Check: Assess your familiarity with the requirements and resources at Walden University. 
3. Resources: View a variety of resources tailored to meet your immediate needs as you begin your program. 
4. Learn More (Optional): Access more resources that you can explore related to the Module topic.
5. Readiness Check: After reviewing the Resources, check to see how prepared you are for your first course at Walden. Do you know what you need to know? 

You will have access to the SRO for one year from your start date here at Walden. Access to the e-Guide, however, is available for all students throughout the course of their programs.
