Orientation Overview
The purpose of TFC Orientation is to familiarize students with their new home. At Toccoa Falls College, students will participate in orientation immediately following their move-in and prior to beginning classes for the semester. Incoming students are automatically registered for orientation (TFC 100) and must successfully pass the program through attendance of sessions and minimal assignments.
Welcome Weekend
Every fall semester, Welcome Weekend is hosted the weekend before classes begin for new incoming students to connect with current students on campus. Community activities include the Back to School Bash, hike to Little Falls, visit to the drive-in movies, trivia nights in Odyssey Coffeehouse, brunch in the Dining Hall, Grocery Bingo, dodgeball tournaments, and much more. Students are highly encouraged to participate in Welcome Weekend activities to begin forming community in their new home.
