Welcome to SVCC!

We hope this orientation enriches your teaching experience and informs you of the resources available for you and your students! This orientation is designed to be a self-paced guide to help familiarize you with the campus, and guide you through an incredible first semester here at Sauk Valley Community College.

This orientation is made up of eight sections. Information is presented in the general order in which you will need it as you progress through your first semester teaching at Sauk. Many slides contain links to pages on Sauk’s website for future reference or additional information.

You may want to consider adding this course to your Canvas Dashboard for easy access throughout the semester.
