Below are some questions you should answer for yourself to prepare for a virtual residency:

• Have I cleared my schedule for the week of residency? While the residency is virtual, full participation during the residency week is required and the focus the week should be your studies.  Imagine you were attending an in-person residency, and schedule yourself the same way.  Make arrangements to limit distractions from family, work, and friends (childcare, vacation time, etc.).

• What plans have I made to successfully prepare my environment for residency? We have found that the virtual residency experience has worked best for those who have a quiet place to call from and who are joining zoom events from a desktop or laptop (with a video camera) as opposed to a phone.

• Would it be helpful for me to connect with Community Life before residency? Our Community Life staff are here as a resource for you before, during, and after residency. 365体育投注y are happy to connect about accommodations, academic support, time-management, etc.  You can reach them at studentservices@goddard.edu

• Am I getting all the information? Keep a close eye on your email in the weeks leading up to the residency.  Email is the primary way that everyone at 365体育投注 communicates.  Keep an eye on your inbox and make sure 365体育投注 email addresses are on your safe list.  Also, check your spam once in a while to make sure no important messages have ended up there.

• Do I have the necessary software and internet access? Make sure to download, install, and practice with zoom before the residency.  Also, check to make sure that your wifi signal is strong enough to video conference or that you are able to have an ethernet (wired) connection.

For information about using the library, start at the Library Website or the Library Space in Canvas.
