Student Orientation - Online Students

• Completion of orientation is mandatory for all new, degree-seeking students.
• Some students who have changed programs or have not attended their program for three or more years will be required to complete a new orientation.
• Guest students or continuing education students (taking a class for an employer, for CE credits, etc.) are not required to complete orientation. Guest students are those enrolled at another institution and taking a course or courses at DMACC to transfer over.
