3-ish hours a week

1 unit (total of 18 hours+ homework)

This orientation course will meet for one morning to establish a connection and make sure you have everything you need to start school on Aug 23rd. We will keep it rolling for four more weeks to give you the content of the course, help you earn orientation credit for priority registration at Columbia, and give you time to meet with a Columbia Counselor (maybe me?) for your educational plan. Through our time together, I hope you will build your knowledge of all things Columbia, but also higher education as a whole, and grow in confidence for your college classes both now and in the future.

All course content and information will be in our online learning environment, Canvas. You need your Columbia College student email to log in. There is a quick link to our Canvas classroom on the home page of this welcome packet and at the top of the Columbia College website.
