New Student Orientation

Sullivan County Community College conducts new student orientation every semester on the day prior to the first full day of classes. This program is designed for all first-time full time students who enroll at SCCC, however all new students are welcome to attend regardless of the number of credit hours they are enrolled in.
The events of orientation are as described below and are most beneficial to all students. Refreshments will be provided at some time during this program.

Orientation Registration/Welcome – This usually occurs during the hour prior to orientation. Students must stop by the registration table to sign up for Orientation and receive a registration packet of materials.

Introductions – Students will have the ability to hear brief remarks from the Sullivan County Community College President, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Development, and Student Government President (line-up subject to change based on availability).

Mandatory Freshman Seminar Activities – All students enrolled in Freshman Seminar* are required to participate (attendance will be taken by your instructor). When students register for Orientation they will be provided with detailed information on where they should report for these activities.
*- CUL1001/HON1010/IAS1001/IAS1004 are all considered part of this session

Majors/Information Fair - All students will have the ability to meet faculty from different disciplines, student group representatives, student services staff, and representatives from community agencies who may help them succeed while at SCCC.

Review and Re-take of the Math Placement Exam – Students who placed into and are registered for DMA 0902 (Basic Arithmetic) will have the opportunity to attend a review session taught by a math instructor prior to the beginning of orientation. Students can then retake the placement exam (students must bring a picture ID, #2 pencil, and a copy of their spring schedule to take the test).

Adult Orientation – For students who are returning to school at a non-traditional age, 22 or older, there is an evening of events each Fall semester that helps students readjust to the higher education atmosphere.
