New Student Orientation

Welcome to MCTC! We’re so glad you’re here!

New Student Orientation is your first step toward a successful semester – and we’ve made it easy by combining the convenience of an online course with personalized, in-person support.

Complete the Online Orientation Course

All new students begin by completing our online, self-paced orientation course. You’ll get important information about:

  • Your academic program and course schedule
  • How to access your student accounts (email, Blackboard, Student Self-Service)
  • Campus resources like advising, financial aid, tutoring, and more
  • Tips for success in your first semester

The course opens in mid-July and can be completed anytime, from anywhere. We recommend finishing it before attending your in-person appointment.

Attend a New Student Drop-In Appointment

After finishing the online course, join us on-campus for a New Student Drop-In Appointment on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at all MCTC Campuses (Licking Valley, Maysville, Montgomery, and Rowan).

During your appointment, you can:

  • Ask questions about your schedule, financial aid, and bill
  • Get help setting up your student accounts
  • Pick up your student ID
  • Purchase or order your textbooks
  • Explore your campus and meet with faculty and staff
