New Student Orientation

Making Connections for Success

Your Orientation is just the beginning! Attending Welcome Week is integral to your success as a student, and the Welcome Week activities are designed to help you “get connected” to Tompkins Cortland. New students are required to attend many Welcome Week events. During Welcome Week you will get the information you need and connect with the people at the College who can help you succeed. Welcome Week will also help you understand the beliefs and skills necessary for college success. You will have the opportunity to meet faculty in your academic program and to learn what they expect in the classroom.

Details of Orientation can be found on the Orientation Schedule page. Please refer to the materials you received at Orientation to make sure you are prepared for the start of classes.
