Adjunct Faculty Orientation

How to take the online orientation

Adjunct orientation is held fully online via Blackboard. After your employment requirements and documents have been met and received, you will be assigned an employee ID and username.  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). 

The adjunct online orientation covers the requirements and practices for teaching at Columbus State.  The orientation includes learning units on topics such as academic policies/procedures, student support, student conduct, accessibility services, Blackboard, and others.  Adjuncts who fully complete all requirements in the course will be compensated.

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.
