How do I complete my Orientation?
It’s easy to get started! Simply log into your myEGSC account and click on the "Student Orientation" link located in your shortcuts menu. Once you have logged in you will be guided to follow through all of the modules. You can complete the orientation at your convenience over multiple sessions and will need your sign in information to re-enter where you left off. At the end, in the 'Next Steps' section, you will be asked to sign up for an in-person Orientation date at any of our three locations, as new students will not be permitted to register themselves. Failure to attend Orientation will prevent any future registration.
