New Student Orientation is quickly approaching!
Orientation is designed to help new students – on campus or online – and their families transition to life as a GCC Cougar. You’ll be able to meet current GCC students, take a tour of the Batavia campus, meet faculty and staff, and most importantly, begin to form friendships with other new Cougars!
New Student Orientation sessions are held at the Batavia Campus from 8:30am – 1:00pm:
- July 10
- July 17
- July 24
- July 31
- August 20
We have an awesome Orientation Team who work hard at each of our five New Student Orientation sessions. Get to know them before you come to campus!
