The Best Start Here
New Student Orientation is the place where new students become Apaches! We offer orientation sessions throughout the summer and look forward to serving you!
New Student Orientation
New Student Orientation at TJC seeks to prepare students for academic and social engagement as members of the TJC family. Through our transition programs and resources, we aim to provide information and experiences that will support students and their family during their transition to college and throughout their journey towards a timely graduation.
TJC is committed to providing students with a positive learning experience and believes that to ensure a productive start to that journey, there is information and experiences that students need to receive and take part in. For this reason, completion of New Student Orientation is mandatory for all first-time-in-college students.
Meeting you where you are
No matter how you choose to participate in New Student Orientation, we have an opportunity that will fit your schedule.
On-Campus Orientation
We are excited to offer on-campus orientation sessions throughout the summer. With your safety in mind, we're limiting the capacity and length of our on-campus experiences.

New Students
New Student Orientation is the first step toward your academic success and graduation. Our personal approach is designed to ease your transition from high school to college both academically and socially.
Studies show that students who attend orientation are better prepared for their first semester in college and are more likely to graduate. Since your success is our mission, all first time in college students must attend New Student Orientation in order to be successful in their first year and beyond.
Families & Parents
College is a great opportunity for students to become more self-sufficient. It is also a great opportunity for parents to continue to offer their advice and wisdom while allowing their student to create their own path.
We are thankful to have the support of parents and family members and we recognize how significant each of these individuals are in the lives of our students. We are happy to offer orientation programming for parents and family members.
