New Student Programs

The Office of New Student Programs is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for all first-year and transfer students. Our orientation programs equip students and their families with essential resources and tools for a successful first semester and beyond. In collaboration with colleagues across campus, we have developed a comprehensive program that includes:

  • Pre-Orientation Online Modules: Access these modules using your Central login credentials at CCSU.GOorientation.com 
  • Orientation Programs: Enjoy a two-day/overnight orientation for new first-year students and a one-day program for new transfer students.
  • Orientation Leader Program: Our trained Orientation Leaders, made up of current Central students, are here to support your transition during Orientation.
  • Opening Weekend Activities
  • First Year Experience Courses and Programs tailored for new students.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to New Student Programs at orientation@ccsu.edu or call us at 860.832.1234, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can also visit us in Mid Campus, Room 109. We’re here to help!
