New students may complete the Getting Started Information Session (Orientation Online) in lieu of or in addition to the Advisor-Led group session. Reserve your online Getting Started Information Session here.
  • Advisor-Led Getting Started Information Session (Columbus Campus) – This information session will be led by a Columbus State Admissions Advisor. Newly accepted students will learn more about the steps to enrollment and tips to a successful start at Columbus State.  If you will need a sign language interpreter, please complete the Sign Language Interpreter Request Form three or more business days in advance of your scheduled event. Reserve your Advisor-Led Getting Started Information Session here.
  • Tip for success:  Pair your Advisor-Led Getting Started Information Session with a Campus Tour.  Check the schedule and make reservations for a tour and an Advisor-Led Getting Started Information Session on the same day. Common days to schedule both an orientation and a tour are:  Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and the first Saturday of the month. You may even have enough time to take your COMPASS placement test the same day.
