NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

At New Student Orientation, you'll have the opportunity to join us at the Seattle Central Broadway campus to kick off the academic year with food, fun, and friends!

What You’ll Do:

  • Hear from campus community at New Student Welcome
  • Meet peers during Area of Study Sessions

Program Specific Orientation

Running Start, Seattle Promise, International Programs, and Basic and Transitional Studies (ABE, ESL, and GED®) have separate orientations. If you are enrolled in these programs, you are welcome but not required to participate in New Student Orientation.
