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. New freshman and transfer students and their parents are invited to campus; however we do not have a separate parent program.

During orientation, students get a taste of campus life, a sense of academic expectations, meet and greet their Deans and academic advisors, and receive a tentative class schedule for the entering semester.

Throughout these two days there will be plenty of activities and fun to be had by all.
