Based on local transmission rates of COVID-19, we're following CDC and Maryland Department of Health guidelines to reinstate masking on campus. Please bring a mask with you and wear it during this in-person session. Chesapeake College requires that all individuals wear a mask while indoors on campus, regardless of their vaccination status.
This session is full. If you still need to participate in a New Student Orientation session, please contact newstudentorientation@chesapeake.edu.
During both the virtual and in-person New Student Orientation sessions, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, meet some of your peers, and learn more about how to access important student resources and services. We hope that you will take time to participate in the Chesapeake College New Student Experience so that you can bring specific questions to be addressed.
