All sessions will be held in the Library Training Lab in the lower level of the Library
unless
noted below.
OBJECTIVES:
The goals of Centres Orientation Program are to help you make a successful transition into
college and to help you make the most of the Centre experience. Our help comes in two
forms, challenge and support. At Centre, you will find both elements in academics, in the
many campus activities available, and in your personal circumstances as a new student. We
hope that you have arrived at Centre open to change and anticipating challenges to your
abilities, habits, and goals.
Since we know that challenge and change are often difficult, we have created an orientation
program designed to equip you with the important information you will need to be successful
at Centre and to assist you in realizing your educational goals. The five-day orientation
occurring prior to the fall term is the first step in this process, where you will learn about the
campus community and prepare for the beginning of classes. Extended Orientation will occur
in the first half of the fall term with more comprehensive information about how to succeed
academically at Centre. The entire orientation process will lead you to:
1) be proactive in your own education
2) learn about college and academic resources and how to live on campus
3) develop a strong sense of the Centre community
4) have a strong notion of personal and social responsibility
5) learn specific skills necessary for academic success by applying information to your
on-going coursework
6) develop further by reflecting on your academic, social, and personal well-being

Orientation course.
