Orientation facilitates the successful academic and personal transition of new students and their families into Lake Michigan College (the College).

Through the intentional interaction with incoming students, families, faculty, and staff, combined with specific programmatic elements, participants develop an understanding and appreciation of the academic, developmental, and social opportunities available, as well as knowledge of the College/community resources, safety, and compliance.

Orientation dates for the following year will be set by October 15th and published on the college website. Online orientation will be available year-round.

All degree, certificate, and dual enrolled students are required to complete an in-person or online orientation. Students who are guests or taking personal interest classes will have access to the information as a resource.
