Students enrolling at Columbia College Hollywood for the first time are required to attend the new student orientation. The new student orientation is designed to familiarize a student with important information they need to start at CCH, the academic and social transition into college and an introduction to student services. At this time they tour the College facilities and meet the administrative staff, as well as fellow classmates and student mentors. New student orientations are generally scheduled 1 to 2 weeks prior to the first day of classes.
During orientation, students will also have an opportunity to review their first-quarter class schedules which are assigned by the Dean of Student Services.
A student’s first quarter at Columbia generally includes Principles of Production and one or two of the following:
- Visual Design
- Editing Theory & Lab
- Introduction to Acting
- Screenwriting 1
- Writer’s Workshop 1 (must be taken within first three quarters of matriculation)
A one-time registration fee of $95 is due at the time of orientation.
At the time of orientation, all new students are required to take Math and Writing proficiency and Reading comprehension tests to determine whether they will be assigned classes in these subjects. You will not be required to take the Math proficiency exam if you have completed any the following:
- Earned greater than a 600 score on the mathematics portion of an SAT subject test level 1 or level 2.
- Earned a “3” or more on an Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus or Statistics test.
- Earned a “C” or higher grade in a qualifying general education transfer math course from a Community College or four-year College.
All official scores and transcripts must be received prior to orientation.
