Welcome to the Coby Family
We look forward to meeting you!
Our Summer Orientation Sessions have now concluded; however, we do have two alternative options for those who were unable to attend a Summer Orientation Session:
1.) A "One Day" Session hosted during Welcome Weekend - This in-person experience takes place over the course of a day and focuses on primary tasks that should be completed. The date for this session will be confirmed soon.
2.) An "Online" Session - This is a fully virtual experience offered through Brightspace, our main online educational platform.
Attending orientation is required for all First Year and Transfer students. We ask that you please email us at Orientation@Cobleskill.edu to sign up for one of the options mentioned above.
Orientation is a way for new students to learn about SUNY Cobleskill's campus and the services we offer through specifically designed program sessions. Orientation is an opportunity for new students to ask questions about their academic, co-curricular experience, and to become active, engaged members of the Coby Community.
Orientation Leaders are current SUNY Cobleskill students, who lead orientation sessions, interact with the new students, and provide a upbeat and exciting orientation experience. New students will be connected to an Orientation Leader and a Coby Connector (professional staff mentor) to ensure that their transition into SUNY Cobleskill is seamless.
