Mandatory Orientations

Mini-Orientations

If you did not attend a Summer Orientation session or July Mini-Orientation session you must attend this program. These small group advising sessions will help you navigate through registration and the add/drop process, learn the explicit steps to graduation, avoid costly mistakes that can delay your diploma, and help you become aware of advising assistance that is available to you. Explanation of your degree progress report (evaluation of transfer credit) and other essential information will also be addressed. View and print your degree progress report at http://portal.csuchico.edu and bring this with you to an advising session.
