Spartan Start Orientation Coming Soon!
MiraCosta College has redesigned credit students' orientation experience! The new
and improved, Spartan Start Orientation, is an online tool that features our beautiful campuses and empowers students with
critical information. This fresh and interactive approach highlights our Academic
and Career Pathways (ACPs) and MiraCosta's many degree and certificate options.
Students can complete Spartan Start Orientation at their own pace and can engage in
content that feels relevant to their needs and goals. As part of MiraCosta College's
onboarding process, credit students are prompted to complete orientation through their
SURF account. More information available at miracosta.edu/orientation.
