All new first-time-in-college students are required to attend CVC Preview Day (formerly New Student Orientation).
Cedar Valley offers a face-to face orientation program to prepare new students for college and present information about:
- registration for classes
- eConnect and using this system to access your academic information and register for classes
- campus resources available to help students
- academic information, such as Core and degree requirements, certificate, technical, and workforce programs
- tuition payment and financial aid
- key characteristics of a successful college student
Preview Day is free of charge. Parents of new students are welcome to attend, and they will benefit from a special session geared toward parents' questions.
Preview Days or Orientation Sessions allow you to learn details about the college and provide academic advising/registration services and a campus tour.
