Mission Statement

The mission of the Orientation and Reg2Go Programs is to encourage student success by assisting new students through the enrollment process.  The programs keep students engaged and excited about their education with the guidance of professional and knowledgeable staff.  The programs help to create a welcoming campus for students to feel connected and supported.

Program Description

The goal of Orientation is to provide a smooth transition to Butte College for new students.  After completing the Orientation Program, new students will be familiar with the registration process, be able to locate their classrooms and be familiar with the student services available to them.  The Orientation Program utilizes highly trained Butte College students as Orientation Leaders.  The leaders provide information about student services, help students become familiar with MyBC portal, and lead campus tours during Orientation.  Over 2,500 new students will complete Orientation during an academic year. 

The Reg2Go Program is designed to facilitate and assist high school seniors in their transition to Butte College.  The Reg2Go Program consists of three components: Classroom Visits, Orientation, and Counseling/Registration.  Through the Reg2Go Program, seniors can meet their matriculation requirements and register for classes before they graduate from high school.  Over 1,300 seniors from over 40 high schools will participate in the Reg2Go Program.

Reg2Go Recommendations and Action/Updates 

We are developing educational plans that tell students what courses to take beyond their first semester.  Using the Degree Planning Tool, students will begin to create a more precise template for progression to the AA degree and/or transfer.  Develop a suggested semester-by-semester pathway/outline to meet certificate, AA degree, and 4-year transfer requirements.  We are currently implementing the use of Starfish to assist with degree planning for students to access when choosing majors.
Explore ways to follow up with students who did not register for classes.  The Orientation team will be following up with students after Reg2Go Orientation.

Orientation Recommendations and Action/Updates

Consider moving sexual violence training to an online format.  Safe Place is exploring additional formats that would support the in-person presentation at Orientation.  We have worked with the Title IX Coordinator to promote the implementation of You Got This, an online violence prevention program.  
Transitioned the New Student in-person Orientation into an online Orientation platform.
Pursue funding to address lack of space and lack of access to computer labs.  This is still being considered and discussed.  This continues to be an issue we come across during Reg2Go Orientation.
