New Student Workshops
The New Student Workshop is a two-part program to prepare students to be successful
at Columbus State, including registering for first semester classes. Students who
complete the New Student Workshop will have the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve
their academic goals.
- Part One, the Online Workshop, introduces students to Columbus State's academics,
support resources, and student life. Students complete the Online Workshop independently
and at their own pace. At the end of Part One, students register for a Course Scheduling
workshop.
- Part Two, the Course Scheduling Workshop, is a live session where students will register
for their first semester classes. Guided by a College Transition Specialist from the
Center for Advising, Support, and Exploration, students will learn what classes they
should register for and will be walked through the registration process from start
to finish. Students will leave the workshop registered for their first semester classes.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Prior to receiving course recommendations and registering for classes, students need
to complete placement testing.
- If you plan to start classes in Autumn Semester 2021 and you graduated high school
in 2020 or will graduate in 2021, you should not complete the New Student Workshop.
Your next step is to attend New Student Orientation.
- The Online Workshop will take about 1 hour to complete and can be completed at any time.
- Sign in with your Columbus State username and password.
- Register for a Course Scheduling Workshop on the final slide.

Complete the Online Workshop
Once you have completed both parts of the New Student Workshop, you will be ready
for classes to start! However, we know that it is a lot of information. If you have
additional questions or forgot how to do something, take a look at our New Student Guide which is a quick reference resource on the "how to" of Columbus State.
