Orientation

CHARGE Orientation is required for all first-time freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 24 credit hours. It’s designed to help you start strong at Columbia State by giving you the tips, resources, and support you need to succeed.

Orientation is offered in person, and if the online option isn’t visible, you can request a link by emailing orientation@columbiastate.edu. Dual Enrollment students are not required to attend an orientation and should contact an enrollment recruiter for assistance.
