What to expect at Orientation:
New Student Orientation offers a comprehensive overview of BCC. The 90-minute program provides necessary information regarding college procedures, online resources and student services. The orientation staff offers valuable and necessary information regarding course registration, bill payment, financial aid and more. Additionally, faculty members from both academic divisions will cover information to help you be academically successful in the college classroom, including details on books, tutoring, first day expectations, communicating with your college professor and more. Included in the 90 minute program are 3 break-out sessions: Academic Advising, Financial Aid and Campus Life. Each participant must select one break out session to complete as part of the orientation program. Following the program, new students can obtain Student ID cards, parking permits and participate in a campus tour.
