SCC's Orientation is designed to prepare you for achieving your goals and to help you discover and learn about the many resources that SCC has to offer. There are three main components of orientation:
Online Orientation
Our online orientation introduces students, parents, and community to the programs we offer at SCC and how to become a student at SCC. Through a series of video, we introduce you to our campus resource, explain academic pathways, introduce financial aid options, and share a little about our campus life and engagement.
- Available to anyone, at any time, and at your own pace.
- Discover our campus resources.
- Learn about next steps to getting registered at SCC.
