New Student Experience
Welcome! Valencia wants all new to college students to start right as they begin their educational journey. As a result, all First Time in College students enrolled in an Associate in Arts degree program are required to complete the SLS 1122 NEW STUDENT EXPERIENCE course. This course, or equivalent, assists students in developing a sense of purpose for being in college, a plan for moving through their program of study, a pathway toward their career goals. It also helps students prepare for their coursework, develop clear personal connections, as well as understanding the places available for support.
