New Student Programs

The Office of New Student Programs is here to support a smooth transition for all new students (first-years & transfers) and their parents/families. Orientation programs will provide all students and their families with the connections and tools in preparation of a successful launch into that first semester.

We understand the beginning of college comes with mixed emotions. By collaborating with our colleagues across, we have crafted a comprehensive program that begins with pre-orientation online modules, a robust summer orientation program, opening weekend programs and activities, and expands into the Fall semester with the First-Year Experience program.

The First-Year Experience program is a collection of campus-wide programs, resources, and courses aimed to support students through academic success, and emotional and social well-being.

Please reach out to New Student Programs with any questions via email at Orientation@ccsu.edu or by phone at 860.832.1234, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
