Meet a Community Full of Opportunity

YCP's Winter Orientation welcomes new and transfer students who are joining our campus community in the spring semester. Sessions are held in January, just before the start of spring classes. 

Orientation will introduce you to the many opportunities, services, and resources available at York College. You'll learn about academic processes, cultural events, campus activities, and ways to access support when you need it. 

Most importantly, our friendly Orientation staff and the campus community will welcome you into the Spartan family — officially!

Orientation Schedule

The full Winter Orientation agenda will be emailed to new students at their ycp.edu address and is also available in the YCP App (App Store / Google Play). An abbreviated schedule can be viewed here.
