Sample Student Communication - Student Onboarding

Use this communication template to outline the course sharing experience with students.

Hi [StudentFirstName],

Congratulations on your recent enrollment in [CourseID] [CourseTitle] with [TeachingInstitution]!

As outlined in your enrollment agreement, this consortium course has been approved by your department chair at [HomeInstitution] and will count toward your graduation requirements. The purpose of the consortium enrollment is to keep you on track at [HomeInstitution], but it's on YOU to do the work in the course!

Please be reminded that you will NOT be able to access the consortium course through [HomeInstitutionLMS]; instead, you must log in to the consortium school's learning platform. You will receive your log-in credentials about a week before the course starts, so please check your [HomeInstitution] email regularly. Remember, this is the ONLY way to stay on top of course announcements and other time-sensitive information. Your consortium course term may be different than [HomeInstitution], so please be mindful of your course start and end date.

Once you have access to your consortium course, it is strongly recommended that you read through the course assignments, policies, due dates, etc. in advance of the course starting so that you are acclimated to timelines and requirements. Your consortium course instructor is available to assist you with any questions about your course.

One last reminder...be sure to continue utilizing online tutoring [YourOnlineTutoringLink] and advising support [YourStudentSupportContactInformation] at [HomeInstitution]!  We are here to help you while enrolled in your consortium course.

Please contact [ContactName&Information] to answer specific questions.

You're one step closer to the end goal!  Stay focused!

Best,
