Glendale College offers orientation in three formats: online,
an one-hour, on-campus workshop, or one of the Student Development classes. If you prefer to complete the orientation
at a session on campus, check the orientation schedule for times. Then again, you may enroll in one of the following Student Development courses:
|
Student Development 100 – College Orientation
Student Development 101 – Freshman Seminar |
Note: International students must enroll in Student Development 103 – International Students
EOPS students must enroll
in the 1-unit Student Development 100.
The online orientation is an interactive program designed to guide you
through the registration process for your first semester and to prepare you to become a successful student at Glendale Community
College. You will also learn how to access and use a variety of academic and support services designed to ease the
transition into a college environment. |
| The goals of the orientation are to:
|
 |
Tell you about Glendale College, its academic programs, and the services it can provide to help you succeed |
|
|
Help you define your educational goals |
|
|
Provide information that will help you prepare for graduation or transfer to a four-year college |
|
|

|
| Take the following steps to complete the orientation and be ready to register for classes:
|

the
online application.
Step 2: You must have an active email account. We will send you a confirmation by email once you have successfully completed
the online orientation.

You may read each of the nine segments at your own pace, but you must finish the entire program in one session (you cannot save your progress). Read through the information carefully.
You will encounter short quizzes that will test your understanding of the information presented. The purpose of
these quizzes is simply to provide you with immediate feedback to see if you are ready to move on to the next
component. Please note that all nine quizzes must be completed for you to receive credit for the online orientation.
