New Student Orientation
Attending an in-person orientation will help you get started on your college career and help you understand what to expect as a new student.
Types of Orientation
Beginning Freshmen
If you are beginning college for the first time, you must sign up to attend an in-person New Student Orientation if you are planning on attending full-time. If you are planning to get the Bridge to Success Scholarship, this orientation is a requirement for eligibility and must be completed by August 1st.
Dual Credit (High School) Students
If you are applying to CNM as a dual credit student, you must complete the Dual Credit Online Orientation.
Returning and Transfer Students
If you have attended college previously, either at CNM or another college or university, you are welcome to complete the Online Orientation or attend an in-person New Student Orientation.
