New Student Workshops

New Student Workshops are a 2-part orientation experience. Discover Columbus State resources, confirm your major matches your career plans, and register for classes by completing a New Student Workshop! 

Part One, the Online Workshop is an online learning module that covers:

  • Requirements to register for classes
  • Choosing the right major
  • Academic support resources
  • Financial aid and how to pay for college

You will complete the Online Workshop independently and at your own pace. At the end of the Online Workshop, you will register for part two, the Course Scheduling Workshop. Complete part-one, the Online Workshop below.


Part Two, the Course Scheduling Workshop is a live registration session where you will:

  • Confirm that your major aligns with your career and academic goals
  • Receive your first semester course recommendations
  • Register for your first semester classes

Both in-person and live online workshops are available.

Please Note: You must have placement information on file to register for classes.

Complete part One here

  • The Online Workshop will take about 1 hour to complete and can be completed at any time.
  • Sign in with your Columbus State username and password.
  • Register for part two, the Course Scheduling Workshop, on the final slide of the Online Workshop.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Students who are transferring in with more than 15 college level credit hours (with the exception of former College Credit Plus students) should not complete this workshop. Instead, please contact New Student Onboarding & Assessment for verification of placement (English, Reading, and Math) and program pre-requisites. This may result in a referral to other advising offices for course recommendations, or a follow up based on completed credits.

Students taking transient or guest courses at Columbus State or who do not plan to complete a certificate or degree from the college should not complete the two-step New Student Workshop, but should instead work with the Transient Advising Team to prepare for the semester.
