New Student Orientation

The New Student Orientation Program is an important set of activities designed to acquaint new students with the resources available at Clayton State University.

The program is offered in a two-part hybrid format, with students first completing the online orientation and subsequently coming to campus for the in-person component. It is tailored to the unique needs of all students, and there are programs for freshmen, transfer students, and non-traditional students. During the program, students will have an opportunity to meet faculty and students, become familiar with campus facilities, and be introduced to the wide variety of student services and activities available to the campus community. At the conclusion of orientation, students will meet with faculty advisors and register for courses. New student orientation is required for all new degree-seeking students (including freshman, transfer, and nontraditional students).

Transient students, post-baccalaureate students, and readmitted students are not required to complete undergraduate orientation. Ineligible students may still view the Orientation modules. Dual enrollment students can find more information about orientation on their New Student Checklist.

Orientation details are provided after the student has been accepted to the University. For more information, please visit the New Student Orientation website.
