Orientation is not mandatory,

but recommended for several reasons: 1) students receive a tour and general

orientation to the Clayton State campus; 2) students are able to meet

with their advisors and construct a course plan; 3) students may register

and pay for classes; 4) optional parent/spouse orientation is offered

at all New Student Sessions. All of these activities can take place on

the same day, making the registration process simple and more convenient.
