Conducted near the beginning of the academic year, the Orientation Program facilitates the adjustment to college life at Columbia-Greene by enabling students to informally become acquainted with each other, faculty, staff, and available services.
All new full-time and part-time matriculated students are notified by mail of the orientation date(s) and agenda. Non-matriculated students are also welcome to attend.
There is a mandatory, 1-day Nursing Orientation program in August for all students entering NU 101. See the Nursing Program section of this catalog for more information.
Adult Student Orientation
An Adult Student Orientation is offered at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Typically, the orientation is held in the evening to accommodate the adult learners.
