Pre-Advising Orientation can be completed online via Canvas and covers your enrollment steps: funding resources, placement, pre-advising info, and enrollment info. This is a public course, so you do not need to login. If you need additional support completing pre-enrollment steps, attend a Start Now Event.
Ranger Ready Orientation can be completed in person or online. We encourage students to attend one of our in-person sessions. For Fall 2025 these in person sessions will be offered on both the Bremerton and Shelton campuses. These sessions last three hours and are a fantastic opportunity for you to connect with other new students, peer leaders, and college staff. You will learn how to get first day ready and learn about many of the resources and engagement opportunities available to you at the college. This section of orientation can also be completed online. You can sign-up for Ranger Ready Orientation at the link above.
If completing online, you will need to enroll into the Canvas course, OC's online course platform, so we can track your progress. Visit the Activate Student Accounts webpage and watch this helpful video for step-by-step instructions. If you need help activating your student accounts and navigating Canvas, you may visit the Welcome Center. To enroll in the online Canvas course use the link above.
