Orientation

Both new students and families will gain a more in-depth knowledge of SUNY Cobleskill’s campus, academics, student support systems and professional offices to navigate through their first semester and beyond. Students and families will participate in video modules featuring professional staff, faculty and administration. Student are also required to have a scheduled one-on-one with their orientation leader and participate in one group activity at their convenience.

All students are required to attend our virtual orientation. Most of our program is pre-recorded, and you can choose to go at your own pace. Students will have one full week to complete the video modules and will also be scheduling a one-on-one meeting with their orientation leader. All directions will be included in our welcome email. Students should reserve 3-4 hours to participate in module videos, orientation leader activities and their individualized appointment with their orientation leader.

New students will learn about the SUNY Cobleskill campus, community, academic expectations, support systems and most importantly from their Orientation Leaders. Students will gain the tools necessary to navigate their first year successfully. You will have plenty of time to get involved, ask questions and meet some of your new classmates. New students are encouraged begin their experience a few days prior by checking their official Cobleskill email for details from their orientation leader.

The Office of Student Development in concert with all other professional offices will be open during business hours for questions. Students may also access their orientation leaders for questions throughout the week via Zoom calls. Families and students can also email questions to orientation@cobleskill.edu.
