The course literature states:
"As you plan orientation and mentoring programs the most important things to remember are:
Orientation and mentoring are among the many 'optional' services to offer students."
Question one on the quiz is "Orientation programs can be optional for most programs."
I don't really know about most schools and colleges but I have never had to make it mandatory in my experiences in different schools. It is highly encouraged and recommended.
Can someone clarify this for me?
