Orientations

Before or after you apply for admissions, you'll want to take advantage of one or more of the various orientations we offer to new, prospective, and returning students.

New Student Campus Tours & Orientations

Orientations are offered for new students at the start of each fall, winter and spring quarters. These sessions offer an overview of college support services and resources and a tour of the campus. By attending, you'll also have a chance to speak to staff in many educational offices to ask questions. Typically, these sessions are scheduled a week or two prior to the first day of classes.

Check the BCC Events Calendar for dates of upcoming new student orientations. You may also arrange a campus tour with the Student Programs office.

New Student Advising & Registration Sessions

New student advising and registration sessions allow you to meet with an advisor, attend small group advising, and begin the registration process. Get insight on how to choose the classes that are right for you, get help with registration process, and ask questions! BCC staff will also explain BCC's different degrees and programs and provide an overview of resources you can take advantage of as a student. To find upcoming dates for these sessions, check the Advising website, BCC Events Calendar, or the Get Started page.
