It is VERY IMPORTANT, as a new student at Allegany College of Maryland, that you attend a New Student Orientation Session! You will learn about the many services that are available to you as a student, how to get involved and succeed academically, safety policies/services, and you'll also have opportunities to engage with College staff, faculty and other students. Please see below for details.
