New Student Orientation
We look forward to seeing you this fall! Contact Counseling Services for information on how to complete New Student Orientation as soon as possible! We’ll be glad to help you!
At Lake Land College, we value YOU and your success as a college student. We designed new student orientation to give you the knowledge you need to have a successful start to your first semester as a Lake Land Laker.
Step 1: Choose Your Orientation Format
Option 1: Complete Canvas Course, then Schedule Appointment
Want a flexible option? Learn about Lake Land College resources through an online canvas course, then schedule an appointment to come campus to meet with an academic counselor who will help you plan your classes. This option allows you to work at your own pace and spend less time on campus.

Option 2: In Person Presentation
Join us for a live presentation on Lake Land College resources from our Laker staff and meet with an academic counselor to plan your classes. Presentation is typically an hour long followed by an appointment with an Academic Counselor.
