Welcome to Columbia State Community College and the New Student Orientation program. We’re glad you’ve chosen to attend Columbia State and have designed an Orientation and Right Start Advising program to help you have a great start. In order to register for class you’ll need to sign up for one of the required Orientation and Right Start Advising Sessions.
NOTE: Non-degree seeking (Audit, Dual Enrollment, Special Undergraduate, and Transient) and Technical Certificate seeking students are NOT required to attend an orientation/advising session before registering for classes.
Option 1
Sign up for a group session as soon as possible so that you’ll have better course and campus selection, personal attention from an advisor and learn important information about Columbia State. You may sign up for a session at any location regardless of the campus you will be attending.
Call 931-540-2821 or e-mail orientation@columbiastate.edu to reserve your seat!
