How to Sign up for a New Student Orientation
Orientation sessions are held in-person or virtually on Zoom; in order to attend virtually you will need:
- Access to a laptop/desktop computer (the best way, but optional) or phone
- Internet
Prior to attending a New Student Virtual Orientation, you must have:
- Completed your CRC Application. If you have not completed your Cosumnes River College application, please view the application resources available on the Outreach Application Tips and Resources webpage or attend a workshop.
- Received your student ID number (see Student ID Lookup)
- Created a Los Rios Password (see Password Management)
Didn't Receive Your Los Rios ID?
Check your email inbox and “junk” folder for an email from LRCCD containing your Los Rios student ID number. If you cannot find the email, use the Student ID Lookup form on the Los Rios website.
If you need additional assistance, complete the CRC's Student ID Help form.
General New Student Orientation Workshops
Once you have registered for an orientation date/time our team will review your submission. If you are approved, you will receive a confirmation email 24 hours before the start of the Orientation session. This email confirmation will include the Zoom link for students who signed up for the online Zoom sessions. If you do not see this in your inbox, you may want to check your spam/junk folder or you may contact our Outreach team at: crc-outreach@crc.losrios.edu. Students who are not approved will receive information on next steps sent to their email.
Students may also request to view an Orientation video to support their orientation experience.
Note: sign-ups will close three business days before the event. Any sign-ups within three business days of the event may be denied.

Orientation Exceptions: Steps for Students
After you apply, one of your next steps is to attend the New Student Enrollment Orientation! This is where most students will receive their List of Recommended Courses. At CRC, certain exceptions will require students to take additional steps before attending Orientation.
Exceptions include the following:
- New Students with 12 or more college units completed as a Dual Enrollment student: Check in with an Outreach specialist about your next steps.
- ESL students: If you plan on only taking ESL courses, follow the steps on ESL Student Admission and Enrollment Steps.
- DSPS students: Connect with the Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS) office to talk about accommodations and to create your Education Plan prior to signing up for Orientation.
- Veterans and Dependents of Veterans who plan to use their VA benefits: Contact the Veteran Resource Center to review the steps unique to you and to make an appointment to create a “VA Education Planner” prior to signing up for Orientation.
- Returning Students or Transfer Students: If you’re coming from another college, currently enrolled at another college or have units from another college, and you are interested in pursuing a degree at CRC, your transcripts may need to be evaluated. Please see Get Started and Apply for information.
To receive help with selecting courses, please make an appointment with a counselor.
For transcript submission information, see Submit Transcripts and Test Scores.
