    Orientation is a big day! Here are some tips to help you prepare to get the most out of this experience:

    • Make sure you show up at the right time and location. For example, ChattState has 3 locations: Main Campus (Amnicola Hwy), Dayton, and Kimball—make sure you are going to the correct place.

    • Dress comfortably—you will be touring the campus to see where your classes are.

    • Bring your class schedule with you—so that you can locate where your classes will be. (You can have a picture of your schedule on your cellphone.)

    • Prepare to be at New Student Orientation Experience for a few hours. 

      Refreshments will be available.
