Welcome to SCC! Whether you are a recent high school graduate, taking college courses for the first time, or transferring to SCC from another Maricopa Community College, college, or university to earn a degree, we want to orient you to how things work at SCC and the many resources we have to support your success. Orientation at SCC is a process, not a one-time event, and there are three components: reviewing Artie's Online Orientation, attending Artie's Welcome, and taking a First Year Experience Course.
Artie’s Online Orientation
Part of succeeding in college is knowing about your college. Even if you have attended a college before, it is important to know how things work at SCC. Artie’s Online Orientation guide you through important information we think will help you overcome challenges before they even become challenges.
Go to Artie’s Online Orientation and choose the Orientation Field of Interest option that is best for you.
Artie’s Welcome (Fall and Spring semesters)
In addition to knowing the classes you need to get your degree, it is important to get to know the professors in your major. During Artie’s Welcome you get the opportunity to meet the many individuals that will teach and support you through to graduation.
