Welcome to your Virtual New Student Orientation Experience
Greetings, New and Returning students to South Mountain Community College (SMCC).
No in-person New Student Orientation sessions are scheduled at this time, but staff are working remotely to help you in your enrollment process, and to prepare you for your first semester at SMCC.
There are four components to the Virtual New Student Orientation experience to become SMCC ready:
Verify your completion of enrollment tasks, such as completing a career interest assessment with PipelineAZ to identify your Field of Interest (FOI), completing a Student Admissions Application and uploading your photo identification, determining your course placement, and completing financial aid steps.
Estimated completion time: 45 minutes
Learn about degree and certificate pathways in your Field of Interest (FOI). Get introduced to faculty, staff, and student organizations in your FOI. Review the learning delivery methods and technology tools you will use to be successful in your courses.
Estimated completion time: 30 minutes
Work with the members of the First Year Experience and New Student Orientation team to learn how to use important online student tools to enroll in your classes. Meet your Field of Interest (FOI) Academic Advisor and other students in your FOI.
Estimated completion time: 2 hours
Reinforce your learning about Fields of Interest (FOI) and campus support services in SMCC’s Learning Management System, Canvas. Canvas will be used in many, if not all, of your academic courses.
Estimated completion time: 45 minutes
Learn about the specific programs and services that we have at SMCC to enhance your learning experience and meet individuals within your Field of Interest (FOI) team.
