Early Spring Enrollment Up 16 percent
New Student Orientation Set for January 18

by: Christy Skeen

With early enrollment for Spring semester already running ahead of last year’s pace, an orientation is set to keep new students from getting lost in the crowd. Most Spring classes begin Monday, January 20. However, entering students will want to sign up for the New Student Orientation the preceding Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 noon in the John Paul Theatre.

The orientation will feature a two-track program.

Track One will include six helpful workshops: Teacher Expectations, Test Taking Strategies, Student Services and Resources, Student Success Strategies, How to Successfully Apply for Scholarships, and Student Life and Leadership at Phoenix College. By attending the Track One program, students will learn how to fuel their pocketbook with scholarships and they will also see how various student resources can help drive them to future success.

The Track Two program is specifically designed for ESL students who are bilingual in Spanish and English. The program will feature a bilingual (English/Spanish) informational session and will give students an opportunity to learn more about the various services and resources on campus. The workshops will include Learn about the ESL program and ESL classes, Student Services and Resources and Learn How to Successfully Apply for Scholarships.

Those attending the Spring 2003 New Student Orientation can take advantage of raffle prizes, campus tours and refreshments.

The event is free; however, students must register for NC 500, Section 9000 to attend.
