A high impact orientation and transition program to help first-year students adjust to university life, learn the ropes, become part of the community, and get set for success! MUN 101 is delivered in Brightspace, Memorial’s learning management system, to help you get acquainted with many of the tools and resources you’ll be using when you officially start your degree program in winter 2022. MUN 101 is made up of six different modules to complete week-to-week on your own time. The information from each module will remain in the system so you can access it anytime.
