first-time, full-time students are required to attend an
orientation.
Parent and Family Orientation Program
Information sessions are designed for family members of new full-time students to learn about resources for students, career counseling, transferring to a four-year institution, tuition, financial aid and scholarships, privacy of student records, academic programs, and more. Bring your questions. Refreshments will be served.
Choose from two sessions:
- Thursday, Aug. 1, 6-9 p.m.
- Saturday, Aug. 3, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
