If you have ever been to campus during the first week of instruction, you have no doubt seen friendly Miramar College employees under teal tents ready to provide you the information you need to start a new semester. This year, due to COVID-19, things will be a little different. With campus closed to all but a few sections, we are ready to answer all your questions online during Jets Welcome Days. The virtual sessions begin August 18. Sessions will be held August 18-20 and again August 25-27.

One of the busiest services on a college campus takes place late summer into early fall when the Outreach Team needs to make certain students are enrolled and ready to begin their college careers. Eleven strong, the Miramar College Outreach Team is the gatekeeper for most new students who arrive on an unfamiliar campus.

However, a new feature at Miramar College is helping students connect to the campus even while most Miramar College classes and services remain remote.

Fast forward to present day and students now must seek those services online.
