Kick off your college experience with confidence!

New Student Orientation is your first step toward success at JCCC. It’s required for all first-time college students and designed to fully prepare you for your first semester.

In about 90 minutes, you’ll complete a series of free, self-paced modules that provide essential information and connect you with JCCC resources. Orientation is available 24/7—and you can start, stop, and return to it at any time.
