SUCCESS— We want that for YOU!

To assist you in starting off on the right foot, EMCC offers a comprehensive New Student Orientation program on line along with on-campus activities before classes begin . Why is New Student Orientation important to you?

Goals of New Student Orientation

• Introduce you to people, programs, and services that can support you educationally and personally.

• Guide you in understanding EMCC procedures and policies as well as where to find information you need to be successful.

• Create an atmosphere that reduces anxiety and stimulates excitement with the process of beginning college.

EMCC’s orientation program is a two-part activity and is a combination of information, exploration and fun!

Part One-ONLINE:  We require that all incoming students complete before classes begin. This tool is designed to provide you with important information related to EMCC services, policies, and resources.  Because policies, deadlines, key campus locations and personnel do often change from year to year, we require students who have changed their major or returned from a leave of absence to complete online orientation again. 

Part Two-ON CAMPUS:  These activities are strongly encouraged. You are urged to take advantage of this time to meet new friends, tour the campus, purchase textbooks,  participate in workshops, submit necessary immunization records, and take care of any unfinished business before classes begin in a few short weeks. A light lunch will be provided.  

At the end of this online orientation program (part one), you will submit an electronic form to the Admissions Office as verification that you have completed this mandatory activity. You will provide your name, student ID number and program of study.

Please set aside 45 minutes to 1 hour in order to allow enough time to complete this online requirement!
