Kalamazoo Valley Orientation

Welcome to Kalamazoo Valley Community College! New students are required to attend Kalamazoo Valley Orientation. At orientation you will meet individually with an advisor or counselor to select your first semester of courses. We will walk you through the registration process, demonstrating how to search for courses and register. You'll also be introduced to the Kalamazoo Valley campus and the services available to support your education. Orientation lasts three hours.

We have completed our in-person orientations for the summer for students who plan to start classes in the Fall 2025 semester. If you still need to complete your orientation and weren't able to attend an in-person orientation, please complete our online orientation instead.

To complete our online orientation, take the username and password you received in your acceptance letter and log in to MyValley. Go to My Links and scroll down to New Student Online Orientation and follow through to completion.

Please note, you must have test scores on file or have completed the Guided Self-Placement questionnaire on the college’s application for admission to complete orientation.

If you have any questions, please email Miranda McDowell at .
