New Student Orientation-Doctor of Chiropractic
Congratulations on your decision to become a student at Parker University! We believe you have made the right decision, and we hope you are excited about the wonderful learning experiences and challenges that await you.
Things to know about your New Student Orientation:
-
Complete the DC Orientation Packet. The packet is required before registration in Trimester One courses and should be completed two weeks before the start of the term (MyParker login and password are required). Orientation will be primarily online with an in-person component. If any changes to this occur, it will be communicated via email to all incoming students.
-
Successful completion of New Student Orientation requires the completion of all content quizzes with a score of 75 or greater and the completion of the New Student Orientation survey (available via email and in your Blackboard course after your Winter courses have begun).
- This orientation will take several hours to complete but can be done in multiple sittings.
You are about to begin your career in chiropractic at the best college in the country, and we look forward to helping you achieve great success. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Student Affairs at AskStudentAffairs@parker.edu.
