New students have an opportunity to participate in an orientation session, typically held in August and January before semester classes begin. Sessions are offered for traditional age as well as returning adult students and include campus tours, a chance to meet ICC faculty and staff, information about available services and assistance programs, and opportunities to interact with other students (new and returning). Information about orientation is mailed to new students a few weeks prior to the first day of class. Students who begin classes during the summer are also encouraged to participate.
