NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

On- Campus

New Doctor of Chiropractic student orientation begins with a required online canvas course that highlights resources available to the students before arriving on campus.

DOCTOR BAGS: DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC STUDENTS

As part of our new student orientation, Doctor of Chiropractic students receive the necessary equipment to actively participate in clinical skills and chiropractic technique courses in the first trimester. These supplies include a doctor’s bag that contains equipment needed during the clinical methods and diagnosis courses. This allows students to train with the set of tools that they will use in establishing a patient diagnosis during their time at Logan and during their career as a Doctor of Chiropractic. The equipment and supplies are standard tools of the trade in the chiropractic profession, and the goal is to give incoming students early exposure and use of this equipment so that they can continue to develop and refine their diagnostic and management skills as they progress toward their clinical experience. Cost allowances have been included in the tuition for financial aid purposes.


STUDENT IDENTIFICATION BADGES

All students, faculty and staff using campus facilities are issued identification cards for entering campus buildings and events, as well as to access certain Logan University services. Identification cards must be carried at all times when on campus.

All Logan faculty, staff, and students may be required to produce a proper Logan ID upon request from security or a Logan official when on any Logan-owned or rented property. There is a $15 charge for ID card replacement. Any student wishing to utilize on-campus facilities and resources (online or on campus) must first obtain their student ID badge and request a parking permit from the Physical Plant, Room G36, or from the security staff.

The ID card is the property of Logan and must be returned to the Office of the Registrar upon dismissal, withdrawal, or interruption from Logan.


ON-CAMPUS STUDENT IDENTIFICATION BADGES

On campus students first complete this process as part of the new student orientation.


ONLINE STUDENT IDENTIFICATION BADGES
