Welcome to College 101: Student Orientation

Texarkana College requires all new, transfer, and returning students who have been away from the institution for one year to complete orientation. Our orientation is now divided into three steps. Each of the three steps must be completed before you successfully meet all of the requirements for College 101: Student Orientation.

Complete all eight modules to learn more about being a student at Texarkana College. All eight modules must be completed successfully to meet the requirements for Step 1.

Step I will take 90-100 minutes to complete.

Step II:  Title IX 

Title IX helps protect students from sex-based discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct so everyone can learn in a safe and respectful environment.

Step II will take you 20-25 minutes to complete.

Step III: Drug Awareness
