Steps to Success: Get Oriented

Welcome to Shoreline!

Even if you've already selected one of Shoreline's Programs of Study, ALL students who have never been enrolled at SCC are encouraged to attend New Student Orientation, especially if you will be working toward a degree or certificate.

Orientation will save you time and trouble by helping you start off on the right foot.  You will:

• navigate the registration process
• learn about campus resources that will help you succeed
• identify your goals and how to achieve them
