Now that you have registered for your first semester of classes, the next step is for you to participate in Pathway's Virtual Summer Campus Orientation Retention Experience (CORE). Due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, orientation (CORE) will be a completely virtual experience through Canvas.

CORE has two parts. Complete both online for your orientation.
