Join us for New Student Orientation!
All degree and certificate seeking students must complete a New Student Orientation (NSO) before advising and registering for classes. Orientations are designed to help you feel prepared to start your journey at Peninsula College, learn more about life on campus and student resources, and ensure you feel like you belong on campus!
Join us for our Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) Events. These events are for NEW winter quarter students only! The New Student Orientation will take place first with the Advising and Registration occurring after. Come and learn more about our school, explore campus, and get enrolled for classes!
New Student Orientations are held in-person, on our main campus in Port Angeles.
Orientations are held in Keegan Hall, Room M-131.

Online Orientation
For new students who are unable to attend one of our in-person orientations, we do offer an online orientation. We strongly recommend students attend one of our in-person orientations.
Online orientation takes place via Canvas, our online learning platform. To log-in to your Canvas dashboard, you must first activate your ctcLink account.
Select “Activate Your Account” and create a password. If you have any questions or need help with activating your ctcLink account, please visit our ctcLink new activation page for step-by-step instructions.
Log-in to Canvas to complete your new student orientation. Your Canvas login/password is the same as ctcLink and your new student orientation will be on your dashboard.
