What is New Student Orientation?

The orientation program is designed to ease your transition into the college and prepare you for academic, social and personal success. Each orientation session is designed to meet your needs, regardless of your age or previous college attendance.

  • High school graduates learn how to set realistic academic expectations and when and how to access student support services.  
  • Adult students and Veterans earn about the many campus resources that can help them meet academic rigors while taking into consideration the various roles and responsibilities confronting them at home and at work.
  • Jump Start students learn about the college environment and the differences between high school  and college classes.
  • If you have attended other post-secondary institutions, the value of attending an AACC orientation is that you learn how to navigate our system.
  • All students will hear from faculty regarding classroom expectations and specific policies and procedures.     

New Student Orientation

During orientation you will have an opportunity to:

  • interact with staff, faculty and other students. 
  • access your registration information and your e-mail account
  • ask pertinent questions about programs of study, important dates to remember, academic support services, and the placement testing process and how it influences course selection.

The orientation program is full of useful information students can use during the first few weeks of class. By the end of the orientation session, you will be able to identify academic and student support services, understand faculty expectations, college policies and know what it takes to be successful in college.

Orientation sessions for new students are offered at various times during the year and in various formats.

Parent Orientation

In addition to new student orientation, the college also offers Parent Orientation for those with children who are incoming freshmen. Find out more at the Parent Orientation Web site.
