To Do List

Before Attending the New Student Orientation:

Day of New Student Orientation

  • Bring a pen or pencil, placement test results and notebook paper.
  • Free parking will be available in any visitor or student lot, except on:

The Alexandria Campus where free parking is only in the Dawes Avenue Garage. If parking in a garage, please validate your parking ticket at check-in.

The Annandale Campus where free parking is available in the Visitor Parking Garage only. Bring the parking garage ticket to the check-in desk in CE Forum where it will be stamped. Anyone who receives a citation because they mistakenly used the surface parking rather than the Visitor's Garage will need to turn the citation to the Business Manager within
24 hours to ensure citation is dismissed.

If you are a Pathway Program student and cannot attend one of these sessions, please contact your Pathway Counselor or call the Pathway Program Office at 703.323.3359 for alternate instructions.
