New student orientation

It's almost time! New student orientation, mandatory for incoming students, is designed to help you get the best start possible for your college career. You will:

• Register for classes and leave with your schedule for Fall Term.
• Discuss financial aid, health issues, the academic program, and more.
• Stay in a residence hall for free (students only, space permitting).
• Gather in student groups to get to know each other and ask questions of faculty and upper level students.
• Meet Orientation Assistants who are current students available to offer assistance, advice, and provide insider-knowledge about life at CCAD.

Orientation Sessions

Three orientation sessions are scheduled:

• Session I, June 10 & 11
• Session II, June 14 & 15
• Session III, June 18 & 19
• Session IV, August 22

Check-in between 8:00–9:30 a.m. on the first day.

Sign up by June 1!

(Mailing sent to all accepted students in March)

Those choosing the June orientation sessions will have first choice of available classes for their schedules. The August schedule will still contain all essential information; the schedule has been reduced to provide additional time to prepare for the start of classes.

All June orientation student participants must stay overnight on campus and are housed for free in the residence hall with roommates. All will need to bring their own pillows, bed linens, and toiletries. Incoming students over the age of 25 are not required to stay overnight in the residence hall.

Parents are encouraged to attend, and we will provide information specifically tailored to parents at each orientation session. Family members attending in June have the option of staying in the residence hall on a separate floor for a small fee or at a nearby hotel. Space for family members in the residence hall is limited.
