Congratulations on your admission and welcome to Chico State!
Orientation sessions and registration will open in March.
Chico State’s Orientation program is designed to welcome and support you in your transition to the Wildcat community. At Orientation students can expect to:
- Receive proper academic advising and support with course registration
- Register for courses and discuss academic expectations
- Meet with faculty and academic advisors, fellow incoming students, current students, & staff
- Learn about the vast array of campus services, resources available to support your success
- Understand campus policies and procedures
- Get involved and get the most out of your experience as a Wildcat!
New incoming students must attend Orientation before meeting with an academic advisor. It is expected that all students, first-year and transfer students, will participate in Orientation at Chico State University. Academic Advising is mandatory at Chico State and Orientation provides the first opportunity for academic advising and course registration.
Students will register for orientation based on their major and can select either in-person or virtual session. If you are unable to attend one of these sessions please contact our office at 530-898-5714 or orientationprograms@csuchico.edu(opens in new window)
We will be with you every step of the way to answer your questions on your journey to be a Wildcat!
