Whether you are a first year, transfer, or dual enrollment student, we have sessions to familiarize you with everything STLCC and answer any questions you may have. Before you register for Archer Orientation, make sure you have been admitted and are registered for classes.

Register for Orientation by clicking the link below and selecting the Orientation session that fits best for you. We have in-person sessions at each campus, virtual options, and options for specific demographics of students: non-traditional/ adult learners, Veterans, Transfer Students, and Dual Credit/ Dual Enrollment/ Early College students. There will be one virtual orientation session geared toward each of the specific demographics. If you are unable to attend the session for your demographic, please register for any other virtual or in-person Orientation session. Use the calendar to see available dates; virtual sessions will begin as early as April and in-person will begin in June.
