Orientation: Your First Step Toward Success

Starting college is a big step — and we’re here to make sure you start off strong! Whether you're fresh out of high school, returning to school, or transferring in, orientation is one of the most important parts of your journey at RichmondCC.


Why Orientation Matters

Orientation is more than just a campus tour. It’s your opportunity to:

  • Learn how to navigate your classes, both in-person and online
  • Understand financial aid, billing, and student resources
  • Meet your support team — advisors, tutors, and campus staff
  • Discover tools for success, including Moodle, student email, and Starfish
  • Build confidence by getting your questions answered before classes begin

Students who attend orientation are more likely to stay on track and succeed — and we want that for you!
