Orientation

Welcome to Orientation at the College of Charleston

Every year the College of Charleston introduces over 2000 incoming freshman, transfer students and their families to the campus. We welcome you to the College of Charleston legacy, a family tradition since 1770. We strive to make your adjustment to student life successful. Now that you are officially admitted, the College of Charleston invites you to participate in the new student orientation, “Bridge to the Future”!

We welcome your inquiry by e-mail or by calling our office at 843.953.2017. You can also check out the Orientation blog for news about orientation or follow us on Twitter.
