Welcome to College 101: Student Orientation
Texarkana College requires all new, transfer, and returning students who have been away from the institution for one year to complete orientation. Our orientation platform is designed for all students and can be accessed 24/7. Each of the 8 sections that you will complete is critical to your success at Texarkana College. In fact, research finds that students who successfully complete orientation are more likely to complete their collegiate journey. You must complete each of the eight sections in order. Sections 1 through 7 each have checkpoints that must be completed before moving forward. Checkpoints are designed to review your knowledge and understanding of key concepts within that given section. In section 8, you must complete the final survey to receive credit for orientation and your certificate.
If you are taking classes for the first eight weeks of the semester or in a workforce program you must have ALL orientation sections complete by Friday, August 30, 2024.
If you are only taking classes for the second eight weeks of the Fall semester you must have ALL orientation sections complete by Friday, November 1, 2024.
FREE Orientation SWAG will be available at the Watermelon Supper on Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. If you are unable to attend, items will be available in the Office of Enrollment Services located in the Nelson Administration Building. ALL Orientation modules must be completed prior to getting your swag.
