Understanding how SRJC works is critical to your success. We have found that it takes almost a year for our students to be comfortable with college. Orientation gives you the information you need to know before you get started. We also know that students complete an orientation, tend to be more successful in college. Attending an orientation is a very wise choice.

• Our orientations are for students new to SRJC - whether this is your first college experience or you're transferring in from another college, our orientations are for you.
• Our orientations are designed to give a brief, but important overview of information necessary to successfully enroll in classes at SRJC. You'll learn how to register, how to pick courses which will help you achieve your educational goals, and pick up some great tips on how to study better and do well in our college environment.
• Transfer students learn about the uniqueness of SRJC - about policies and procedures, high standing among colleges and universities, and how to understand our college community.

We have several options for you depending on your availability:

• Counseling 370 - a .5 unit course that is the most thorough introduction to SRJC. This 8 hour course covers a multitude of topics designed to help you be successful in your classes. It covers registration, course selection, testing, study skills, and a tour of the campus. You will also learn about requirements for certificates, degrees, and transfer. Call the Counseling Office at the Petaluma Campus (707) 778-3914 or the Santa Rosa Campus (707) 527-4689 for times and dates or view the Counseling 370 schedule online.
