Orientation

Orientation is an important step in getting started. Our Orientation program is geared toward awareness and student success. We provide you with a general overview of the various departments available to assist you during your time at Daytona State College, in addition to instructions and hints about how to manage your time, build your class schedule and handle stress. Orientation does not provide detailed instructions about how to select and register for classes.

(*) If you are in one of these majors and attempt online orientation, you will get an error message indicating that you are not required to complete.  You can check to verify that your major classification is correct by going to Online Services and selecting Your Student Information under the Records and Registration option.

Students who change majors (from a non-Orientation required program to an Orientation-required program) will be required to complete the Orientation requirement, even if they have been attending Daytona State for a semester or more. Registration will be prevented until the Orientation program is completed.  You can access the online version of the Orientation once you have completed an admissions application and a student number has been created for you (approximately one business day after your application has been received). The online version is available under Online Services at http://www.daytonastate.edu.  You will be required to enter your social security number and personal identification number (PIN). Online Student Services, including Orientation, can be accessed from any computer with Internet access (home, work, public library or Daytona State computer labs).

If you have any questions about Orientation, contact Academic Advising.
