Dual Enrollment New Student Orientation

Start Strong with Orientation

Starting college classes while still in high school is an exciting milestone, and we’re here to help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way. Orientation is your first step as a Dual Enrollment student and is designed to set you up for success from day one.

During orientation, you will:

  • Learn about college expectations, policies and what it means to be a successful Dual Enrollment student.
  • Learn how to access and navigate the student portal.
  • Get step-by-step guidance on registering for courses.
  • Review important dates and what to expect in your classes.
  • Discover the resources and support available to you.

Be sure to complete orientation before the semester begins—it's your key to getting started, and you’ll need it before you can begin classes.

By the end of the session, you’ll feel ready, informed and confident as you begin your journey at Trident Tech!
