Prepare for Success: New Student Orientation with Parent Sessions

Are you prepared for success? There's a lot you need to know when starting a college career and WCJC wants to help you make a smart start with new student orientation. All new students who are beginning WCJC in the fall are encouraged to attend.


Students will have opportunities to:

  • meet future classmates
  • learn tips for success
  • get hands on training with online services 
  • register early for fall classes 

Parent sessions will also be held during new student orientation to give parents tips for supporting their child's transition from high school to college. Topics in these sessions include:

  • Communication with parents about student records
  • Progress
  • Attendance
  • Financial aid matters (ie: navigating the processes for your family and understanding the terms of financial aid) 
  • and tips on how to be successful 

Orientation sessions will be held on June 23 at the Sugar Land campus, June 28 at the Richmond campus, and June 30 at the Wharton campus.

Students can register to attend orientation by submitting the online registration form on the college website. Start smart by signing up today.
