New Student Orientation Program

Get Connected Right from the Start

Welcome home to Finger Lakes Community College! New Student Orientation is an excellent opportunity to explore resources, meet other students in your field of study, and connect with faculty and staff.

Orientation has 2 steps. First, you'll complete your online orientation any time after you’ve registered for classes. Second, you'll attend one of our live programs to complement our online content. Live orientation events let you engage directly with campus resources and build personal connections with peers, faculty, and staff.

Step 1: Complete Your Online Orientation

We designed our online orientation to give you a positive start to your first semester. It takes about 45-60 minutes to complete and includes several modules, each with a short quiz at the end. You can work on it at your convenience, stopping and saving your progress along the way.

During orientation, you'll learn about:

• Support Services — take advantage of campus resources and services, including academic support, tutoring, disability services, and more.
• Student Life — get involved in campus clubs and organizations, athletics and recreation, and student life.
• Campus Safety — meet the campus police and learn how we keep our college community safe.
• Policies — review our academic and student code of conduct policies, learn how to search our college catalog, and access our academic calendar for key dates.
• Academics — discover your Academic Success Network, course options, how to communicate with faculty, and how to add or drop a class.
• Next Steps — wrap up with key takeaways to set you up for a strong start at FLCC.
