CCA Welcomes You!
CCA welcomes you in joining our campus community. The workshops we offer as part of our new-student orientation program are designed to address your concerns and answer all of the most-commonly asked questions students have about getting started.
Each orientation date is listed above. Please mark your calendar and make travel arrangements in advance. Expanded information about each orientation is provided in the link immediately beneath the event date (listed above).
Be sure to read about the orientation that pertains to your incoming status (i.e., graduate student or first-year student).
Whether you are joining us directly out of high school, transferring from another college, or returning to school to pursue new goals, we hope you will find the sessions informative and helpful.
The college's administrative offices will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., during orientation week should you have unresolved business to take care of before classes begin.
CCA's faculty, staff, and administration look forward to having you as part of our community and wish you academic and personal success throughout your time at CCA and beyond.
