Full-time Faculty

Full-time Faculty at TCU will attend orientation in person at the beginning of the semester they will begin teaching. Additionally, full-time faculty have access to the N2TCU Full-time Faculty Orientation resource course in our learning management system, Brightspace by D2L. This course contains resources and materials to refer back to as the academic term progresses. Enrollment in the orientation resource course will happen automatically once the faculty member creates their TCU username and email address.

Adjunct Faculty

Adjunct faculty at TCU will review orientation information and resources virtually through the N2TCU Adjunct Orientation course in our learning management system, Brightspace by D2L. Adjunct faculty do not need to attend an in-person orientation. Enrollment in the online orientation resource course will happen automatically once the adjunct creates their TCU username and email address.
