Promise Orientations

Promise orientation sessions are events designed by staff and students to support new admits to the Promise Program with navigating higher education. These sessions are informational presentations that include activities to ensure students are equipped with the knowledge to succeed in their academic journey. 

Promise orientations inform students about: 

• Promise benefits
• Promise requirements
• Promise policies
• Promise petitions and exceptions
• Important college dates and deadlines
• Campus services and programs
• Other miscellanous tips and recommendations

ALL new Promise students MUST attend one orientation session in their first semester in the program. Students do NOT need to attend orientation again after one session. Returning students to the program do NOT need to attend orientation unless their period of absence has been longer than 3 years. 

Students that are unable to visit the campus for an in-person session must contact the program for alternatives. Alternatives include virtual sessions via Microsoft Teams as well as a fully-online version with a quiz component. 

Students can email [email protected] to access an online/virtual alternative.
