New Student Orientation is mandatory for all students who are new to Lone Star College-Kingwood.

Incoming students will have the opportunity to meet with staff and current students who will be able to answer questions and dispel many of the myths of the college experience. Participants will also be given an official campus tour so that they are familiar with the buildings prior to the start of the semester.
