Freshmen
All freshmen (first-year) students must complete Islander Launch (orientation) before their first semester at TAMU-CC. You will learn about student resources, get oriented with the campus, and REGISTER FOR CLASSES! Students are required to attend both days of the in-person 2-day Itinerary.
Freshmen event dates for 2022 are:
- May 26+27 CLOSED
- June 2+3 CLOSED
- June 9+10 CLOSED
- June 23+24 CLOSED
- July 7+8 CLOSED
- July 14+15

- Virtual: The virtual course is asynchronous, so there is not a specific day or time that you must log in to Blackboard. You will have access to the course portal within 24 hours of registering for Islander Launch, and your 91-Islander Launch Mandatory hold will be removed automatically after you score 100% on the final quiz. A video tutorial to help you access the course is available here: https://youtu.be/UiTGeaOLi3M
