Admissions

Make sure to check your emails. You could miss out on something if you don't.
Meet with an adviser before you sign up for classes. Then you won't be taking classes that you already had credit for or that are too hard and unnecessary for your degree. I speak from personal experience!
Don't be afraid of asking questions. Everyone is friendly and very helpful.
Try to figure out ahead of time what college you're going to after Valencia. Then the advisers can help you more with what classes you should take.

Bottom line is that Valencia Community College is a commuter school. Meaning that you get your degree and you get out and go to a four year school or you have your A.S. degree. The price that Valencia charges is so worth coming here because of how frugal you will be spending your money. I am the Chairman of one of the many clubs here on campus and there is so many different things to do here and so many different classes to take that every day at Valencia will seem like a brand new day.

Come early to find parking. Don't be afraid to meet new people thats what college is all about. People in the Orlando area are nice and for the most part all love meeting new people.

Make sure to reach out to your classmates and make yourself known. Because all of the students are commuters, I find that the students aren't as social or connected and have their own separate lives or agendas. It's very easy to complete a semester course and not know any of your classmates' names. Make eye contact with your professors. You never know who you may need a favor from (ex. recommendations.)

Make sure to attend orientation so you can get all the exiting scoop of the whole campus such as classes, activities, books and more

Communicate to teachers and counselors. Make friends and be open minded , you never know who will change your life. Show up on time its a sign of respect.

If you have any questions or need help registering for classes, help with financial aid, anything, Valencia has advisers, an answer center that any student can go to straighten them out

Always be you. You will love this college.

Go to Valencia!!! It is a good school that has good tuition costs, the professors are very friendly and helpful. I suggest you attend the orientation on campus, although it is longer, it will answer your questions better than the online orientation.
