Planning to start at SMC in Summer or Fall 2026? Don't miss New Student Orientation. During the two-part orientation, you’ll register for classes and learn about campus resources, how to plan your schedule and pick courses that fit your degree plan, and how to succeed at SMC.
Part 1 is an online module you can complete any time. Part 2 is an on-campus session in which you'll meet with an advisor and register for classes.
All students starting at SMC for the first time are expected to complete New Student Orientation. Register today!
