The next step after registration.

Welcome to Edison State. Your first step after registering for classes is New Student Orientation—which will set you up for a successful transition to Edison State. As a new student, you will learn about our locations, resources and your student accounts. New Student Orientation is a resource that will be available to you throughout your time at Edison State.

Whether you’re taking classes online, in-person or at your high school—you will need to know how to navigate Edison State's resources and online tools. New Student Orientation is a self-paced experience comprised of two parts—orientation topics and course completion modules. This online experience allows you the flexibility to complete orientation from anywhere and at any time that is convenient for you. Once you have completed the orientation topics, you will need to complete the course completion assignments. There are six assignments that you are required to complete in order to earn your certificate. These assignments will demonstrate your ability to perform specific tasks and utilize specific tools that will prepare you for success in taking courses at Edison State.
