You’ve completed online orientation and your assessment tests. You have a registration date, but before you register for your classes you really should meet with a counselor. At the end of the session you will have planned out your classes and earned ½ unit college credit!

The new student advisement sessions are hands-on, practical workshops set in a computer lab (NOT HELD IN THE COUNSELING OFFICE -Please check your confirmation e-mail for your workshop location.). By the time you finish your two hour session you will have:

• clarified your educational goals
• practiced how to navigate the Schedule of Classes online
• learned how to balance your classes and manage your time
• worked out a primary and alternative semester class schedule
• received a COC student educational planner and other valuable materials to introduce you to the vast resources of the college!

In the hour following each advisement session, student Cougar Mentors from the Freshman Resource Center will invite you to:

1. Meet our faculty and get the inside story on their classes

2. Take a tour of the campus and find out where your classrooms and labs are located

3. Get involved in campus life and culture. Learn how to achieve, fit in, avoid common pitfalls and enjoy your college experience
