Orientation Requirement

We understand how hectic the enrollment process can be. We created the Orientation Program to help give you pointers about how to be more successful in your pursuits here at DSC.

The Orientation Program at DSC is designed to: give you a basic overview of programs, describe various departments and the services they provide, and provide helpful hints that promote academic success.

You may not need some of the services or departments at this point, but you may in the future.

Error messages when trying to access Online Orientation

You may get a message that pops up indicating that you cannot currently complete Orientation at this time. It may be for any number of reasons. The error message is repeated below to help you troubleshoot.

You are currently being prevented from completing ONLINE ORIENTATION.

Please read the following information to determine why you are being prevented.

YOU ARE NEW AND YOUR ADMISSIONS APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN PROCESSED YET - You can only access the online version of the Orientation once you have completed an admissions application (either in person or online) and a student number has been created for you. This process is immediate if you applied in person, but can take up to 48 hours if you applied online. 

YOU NEED TO RE-ADMIT - If you have missed two major semesters (Fall/Spring - Summer does not count), you will need to re-admit in the Admissions Office. You will need to complete this process prior to completing Orientation. You can check your status on the initial LOGIN page of FalconNet Online Services. Your status will appear in a box under your name. 

YOUR MAJOR - If you are in one of the exempt majors and are attempting online orientation, you will get an error message indicating that you are not required to complete. You can check to verify that your major classification is correct by going to FalconNet Online Services and selecting Your Student Information under the Records and Registration option. Your major will be displayed. If you major is incorrect, you will need to correct it prior to completing orientation.
