New Student Orientation

Fall 2021 Orientation

To ensure every opportunity for success, UA Cossatot requires all new students participate in New Student Orientation. New Student Orientation is designed to get you excited about the upcoming semester while also providing you with the information and resources you will need to be successful.

To ensure the health and safety of our students and employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual option will be available for New Student Orientation this semester as an online course via Blackboard. Possibility of an in person option is yet to be determined. If an in person option becomes available students will be notified via this webpage, official UA Cossatot social media accounts, ED88 Radio, and the personal email submitted on the Admissions Application.

New Student Orientation will show up as a course in which you are enrolled during the first week of the semester. You WILL NOT be charged for the course, but you must complete it within one month of the first-day class for the semester. You may access New Student Orientation through Blackboard at https://blackboard.cccua.edu. Your Blackboard login will be ua_ your student id number and your password will be the capitalized first letter of your first name, the lowercase first letter of your last name, and your full 8 digit date of birth. (For example, if your student id was 12345, your name was Joe Student, and your birthday May 20, 1995, then your login would be ua_12345 and your password would be Js05201995.) If you have trouble logging in, please contact Dr. Laura Riddle at 870-584-1137 or by email at LRiddle@cccua.edu.
