Welcome Incoming Class of 2008!
The time has come once again for Capitol College to usher in the new school year and embrace a new class of students on campus. Orientation is the first step for a successful career at Capitol and beyond, and we are excited and eagerly awaiting your arrival!
Orientation is designed to prepare you for success at college. During three fun-filled, informative days you will make connections with other new students, faculty and staff members, become familiar with various academic programs, and learn helpful tips for college survival. Family members and supporters will also have the chance to meet with representatives of key offices on campus in order to answer any lingering questions about the student experience at Capitol.
Previously mailed documents and material to incoming students are intended to prepare parents/guardians and students for this important upcoming event. Other questions regarding Orientation should contact the Student Life Office at studentlife@capitol-college.edu or 301-369-2800 ext. 3050, and housing questions should be directed to residencelife@capitol-college.edu.
