Adjunct Faculty Orientation

How to take the online orientation

After your employment requirements and documents have been met and received, you will be assigned an employee ID and username. Your system hire date will be the day these credentials are issued. Once your credentials are issued, you will be added to the adjunct orientation in the College's learning management system (LMS) Blackboard. This orientation can be found in your Organizations area in Blackboard titled *FPDi Adjunct Community (FPDI-ADJUNCT-ORG). This online orientation covers the basic requirements and practices for teaching at Columbus State.

Security Alert! The college is frequently targeted by phishing attacks, which are attempts to lure employees into giving away their credentials to those who want to infiltrate and steal data from our systems. These often appear legitimate by referencing systems we use such as Blackboard or Microsoft Office. The College will NEVER ask you to submit your name and password via an emailed link nor will it threaten to cut off your access to any system. Do not provide your information. When in doubt, call the IT Help Desk at 614-287-5050.
