Welcome to COS!
COS will be hosting a Community Resource Fair on March 22, 2012 in the Visalia Campus Quad area. Come find out information about resources available to you!
Starting college can be confusing, so here at COS we've created an Orientation program to guide you and introduce you to resources available on campus. Orientation is a mandatory requirement that can be fulfilled one of three ways:
First Giant Step Orientation
At First Giant Step Orientation, you have the opportunity to meet other new students, win prizes, play games, and find out about the MANY services available on campus designed to help you succeed! Our next First Giant Step Orientation will be at the Hanford Campus on February 9th. Register
here.

As part of the process of being a new student, we offer extended orientation workshops. These workshops cover a multitude of topics and are held at various dates and times. Please click on the link to find out more information and to RSVP to a workshop.
We now offer orientation services at our Hanford Center! Please call 583-2500 for more details!
