New Student Orientation
February 12, 2024 - May 21, 2026
New students, including students enrolling in college for the first time and students transferring to Durham Tech, are strongly encouraged to attend a New Student Orientation after completing the enrollment application.

- Helping students know what steps to take to prepare for their first semester and beyond
- Identifying resources and services available to support students’ well-being and success
- Reviewing students’ program information and requirements
- Teaching students about the course registration process
- Assisting with planning courses for upcoming semesters based on students’ program requirements and personal responsibilities
