Join us for the Rainy River District Campus Orientation

A New Student Campus Orientation will be held on Tuesday, September 5th, 2023 starting at 8:30 CST at the Rainy River District Campus. Watch your college email for more information about orientation day. At the campus orientation, you will receive information specifically about the campus including campus lockers, parking permits, details about your timetable, and campus policies/procedures. You will also learn how to use Blackboard, how to access your college email, and how to access your classes. We will provide free lunch to all the students! It will be a great time to get to know fellow classmates, faculty and staff. Please plan to join us for the day’s events. 

 

For most programs, the first day of classes will be on Wednesday, September 6th, 2023.
There are a few things you should do to prepare for orientation and the first day of classes. Be sure to pay your tuition and fees and register for your fall semester courses. If you need any help, please come into the campus and one of the staff members will help you through these processes.

 

Please bring your college ID number, username and password when you come to orientation or if you come in for payment and registration assistance.
