The orientation is just welcoming everyone into the program and let's you know what to expect when it starts. They go over many resources like the library, counselors, financial aid, how to deal with stress, etc. They also go over the break down on how much the program will probably cost each semester. They'll probably go over the hw real quick that needs to be done before ur first day of class ( they usually go thru this slide really quick and tell u not to copy it down cuz they will email u the hw, but in my case, they were super late in emailing it to us, so id say write down what u see quick just in case). You'll also probably find out if ur assigned to the afternoon or morning section that day. Another thing....if ur doing financial aid, start it asap cuz they can be real slow and a pain in the butt to deal with. Each program does their orientation differently. I'm at cyfair , but I think at north Harris they might also do a urinalysis right after orientation. We also had a two hour break in the middle of the orientation on ours. Like I said, they're all different but I hope this helps some. Congrats to you all!:up:

It's going OK. School is hectic with many projects, quizzes and tons of reading lol. But it's not impossible so that's good.

I received my blue card Thursday. Just keep watching out for it in the mail. It doesn't come in a envelope, just a small blue post looking card. It may get mixed in your junk mail, so make sure you don't throw it away by mistake. It is from the BON and on it it states if your FBI/Background check is clear. See ya'll Monday : )

. Thanks for the info on orientation. They proberbly will do a urinalysis because we have to pay before or on the seventh. I have been checking very carefully for the card, but nothing yet.
