New Student Orientation

Welcome to St. Charles Community College (SCC). Starting college can be a bit overwhelming with all the things you have to learn before you even get to attend a class. We'd like to introduce you to the college and answer some of your questions. We have compiled a list of questions most frequently asked at our formal orientation sessions and thrown in a few more answers to questions you may not have known to ask.

This orientation will also introduce you to some of the terminology you’ll need to understand to get started at SCC.
