The college recognizes the social and academic adjustments which must occur for entering college students to be successful. To enable new students to move with ease and confidence from home/high school environment to the college environment, SUNY Canton provides an orientation program as a total campus endeavor. Freshman and transfer students and their parents are invited to campus for our orientation programs in July, August, and January.

During orientation, students get a taste of campus life, a sense of academic expectations, and a tentative class schedule for the entering semester.

Students who need to take a placement test to assure appropriate leveling in English courses may contact Academic Support Services for further details at (315)-386-7684.
