Offer of Admission
Upon acceptance, students receive an offer of admission which includes a Letter of Acknowledgement, material to initiate enrollment and a Student Handbook.

The Online MSA program admits student cohorts in Fall semester. Shortly before classes start, you’ll receive information from the Program Specialist for registration, payments, drop and refund dates, etc. Students attend a mandatory orientation, in virtual format, which happens just before the first day of classes. Student academic advising is handled by the faculty, Program Advisor and Program Director, whom you’ll meet during orientation.

New Student Orientation
One of your first experiences as a Online MSA student will be the Student Orientation. You'll meet your Program Director and Advisor, and some of your faculty. And best of all, you'll get to know your fellow students and start to develop your academic networks. The Orientation date will be sent soon after your Offer of Admission.
Student Success
A new Cohort Meet & Greet offers an opportunity to get to know your fellow students. You'll receive an invitation for the virtual Meet & Greet near the beginning of Fall semester. Plan to attend for a fun, social and informative evening.
Students will also receive guidance for activating your myCoyote student account, including email, campus resources and access to our learning system, Blackboard. Blackboard contains numerous video tutorials you can use ahead of classes to get familiar with the system. Watch for emails containing links to the most popular tutorials.
