Welcome to CT State Community College!

We invite all accepted degree and certificate-seeking students to complete CT State Online Orientation and attend an In-Person Orientation at your home campus. Orientation provides you with the tools to become academically and socially successful at CT State.

You have two options for orientation. We strongly suggest that you complete both.

Online Orientation should take less than one hour to complete. It provides a high-level overview of CT State Community College, support services, technology and tools, student rights and responsibilities and next steps for successful enrollment.

In-Person Orientation introduces newly accepted and registered students to the CT State Community College student experience! You’ll learn about services on campus, meet fellow students, take a campus tour, participate in workshops, meet faculty and staff at the college and more!

Online Orientation provides information about support services, technology and tools and next steps for successful enrollment.

In-Person Orientation provides a chance for newly registered students to get to know your home campus better.
