THE START @ STATE PROGRAM
Start Your College Experience Online
Start @ State is a series of online pre-orientation modules that guide you through the start of your onboarding process. First-year students can only register for their required in-person New Student Orientation upon completion of the Start @ State modules. To do so, you will need your:
- CampusID email
- CampusID password
Remember to conveniently (and securely) store this info as it will be required to access PAWS, your student email and other university systems moving forward.
If you haven’t already, please activate your CampusID and password now.
For questions or concerns about the Start @ State process or your student type, email [email protected] or continue below.
FAQs & Next Steps
Once you've completed the Start @ State modules, you will be presented with a tailor-made list of the next steps you're required to take in order to complete the onboarding process.*
FAQs by Student Type
First-Year Students
After completing Start @ State, Atlanta campus and Perimeter College first-year students are then required to register and attend an in-person New Student Orientation (NSO) session.*
*A Synchronous Virtual Orientation option (instead of an in-person NSO session) is available only to Perimeter College online-only students if an in-person NSO session is not possible.
*International Students are welcome to attend an in-person NSO session, but may have separate requirements through the ISSS Office.
