All transfer students are required to complete the online orientation and review the information provided through Blackboard.  In order to register for classes, you must register for online orientation, complete the Blackboard orientation and meet with an academic adviser from your declared academic unit.  Your first step will be to select the registration tab above and complete the orientation registration process and submit your orientation fee.  After two business days you will have access to the Blackboard shell.  Steps to logging into Blackboard and completing the online program are as follows:

1.    Log onto Blackboard (blackboard.louisville.edu) using your UofL user ID and password.

2.    Look under “My Organizations" for your orientation course link.  After you've clicked on the link to enter the course, look among the tabs on the left for “STOMP Modules.”

(For those who not have access to high speed Internet, we have a limited supply of STOMP DVDs.  To receive a DVD, send an email with the subject line “Orientation” to admitme@louisville.edu and include your name, student ID and current mailing address.)

3.    Watch the Introduction and the Technology modules first.  

4.    In your Blackboard Transfer Orientation Course, look among the tabs on the left for the “Assessment” tab to take the corresponding Technology Module quiz.  

5.    Once you score a 70% or higher on the first quiz, you can view the next module and take the next assessment until you have completed all four quizzes with a 70% or higher.

6.    If you need help, first check the FAQs in your Transfer Orientation Blackboard course.

•    If you have an error message on one of your quizzes or you are scoring a 70% or higher but still not seeing subsequent quizzes, send an email with the subject line “Orientation” to admitme@louisville.edu and explain your problem.

•    If you are having trouble logging into Blackboard, or viewing the modules or assessments, call the IT Helpdesk at 502-852-7997.
