Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately at this time, we are not allowing guests in the sessions with students.
No. Unless you are a student pursuing a certificate, we encourage you to meet with a counselor ahead of time to develop an Educational Plan for the fall semester. This plan will be referenced during course enrollment at Orientation.
Great! Just attend that session—no need to go to the New Student Friday Orientation. If you have Financial Aid questions, feel free to drop by the Financial Aid sessions—no registration needed!
Sessions are available on a drop-in basis throughout the day as room is available. Check-in at designated tables in the College Center lobby.
