First Year Orientation
First Year Orientation is your opportunity to learn about financial aid, degrees and programs, and the many resources available to help you be successful. We believe orientation is important to helping you get off to a great start, therefore we require orientation to be completed by all new freshmen.
- This option is for students beginning classes in January, February, or March 2021.
- First Year Orientation Online: You can complete the FYO Online, which is a module that you complete at your own
pace by reading and watching videos and takes approximately 30 – 40 minutes. The Online
Orientation is not live, so you can complete it at any time.
- Testing & Scheduling Classes: If you have not done so, please complete the BCTC Pre-Advising form and you will
be contacted about placement testing and scheduling your classes.
- This option is for students beginning classes beginning in May 2021 or later.
- Virtual First Year Orientations: Live First Year Orientations will be broadcast over Zoom beginning in March and will
be offered throughout Spring and Summer 2021. In these virtual orientations BCTC faculty
and staff will present on college services, financial aid, billing, and more. You
will be able to ask questions and meet (virtually) some of our faculty and staff.

- Testing & Scheduling Classes: If you have not done so, please complete the BCTC Pre-Advising form and you will
