Orientation

New student orientation

We are excited to welcome you to Jamestown Community College! All first time, full time, new students are required to attend Mandatory New Student Orientation the week before classes start. You'll learn about JCC technologies, academic and holistic support, and life as a college student.

Note that orientation does not include advisement or registration for classes. To be eligible to register for orientation, you must schedule your advisement appointment to register for your classes.

If you are unable to attend New Student Orientation in person or are taking classes only online, you will need to complete the JCC Online Orientation in Brightspace. This online orientation is open for all students throughout the semester, and is required for those unable to come to an in-person orientation.
