New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation will help you get a successful start at Cincinnati State. This comprehensive online program helps you learn about college policies, campus resources, support services, financial aid, advising, course registration, the MyCState student portal, and much more.

Students should complete all sections of the online New Student Orientation as soon as you receive your admission letter and before you meet with an academic advisor.

A Certificate of Completion will be emailed to you at your Cincinnati State email account.
