New Student Orientation

The New Student Orientation program prepares students for the critical first year of college. By providing important information about academic policies and procedures, college services, and student activities, the New Student Orientation program helps students avoid potential obstacles to the achievement of their goals while enhancing the enjoyment of campus life. Online New Student Orientation can be found at howardcc.edu/orientation and is required for all incoming students. A supplemental in-person New Student Orientation program is provided as an option for students to partake in prior to Fall and Spring semesters. Here students have the opportunity to meet college faculty and staff, engage with fellow students, and get a feel of the campus atmosphere and its resources. In addition to the general New Student Orientation, some programs may require separate pre-semester sessions. Further information about New Student Orientation can be provided to students as part of the enrollment process and through the office of student life.
