Get Oriented

Step 4: Participate in the New Student Orientation

The purpose of the orientation is to ease any anxieties you may have about college.

We cover new and unfamiliar college terms, important dates, and campus policies.
You’ll also have a chance to sit with someone from KCC for help in registering for your courses.
This is also an opportunity to meet new people – fellow students, instructors, and academic advisors/counselors.

Please contact our First-Year Experience office at 808.734.9245 or kapstart@hawaii.edu for more information.

Feel free to view our online New Student Orientation video.

What did you learn at the New Student Orientation?

Where things were on campus was the most important.

I learned that the campus is small; not large and impersonal.

I went to the culinary arts NSO and learned about the program, my instructors and counselors, and my new classmates.

I got a better sense of the campus, and met some new people.
