Orientation

Welcome to Chattanooga State! New Student Orientation is facilitated by the Student Life Department of the college and is all about college success and providing students with necessary tools to access the many opportunities available. Each Orientation session provides intense student support and the up to date education and training, necessary for successful completion of enrollment, financial aid and the registration processes. We take seriously our role in providing each student with an understanding of the information, strategies and opportunities available to create a foundation for a rich and successful college experience.

New Student Orientation is required for all first time degree seeking students as well as for degree seeking transfer students, but all students are encouraged to attend. There is a $10 fee for both campus and on-line orientation sessions, which will be added to your first semester's bill.  We are committed to you and your success!
