Many programs are adding components to their orientation for new students. Some programs provide a week-long orientation class during which students meet with counselors, set personal goals, complete a placement test, and learn about the various instructional programs available to them. Other programs provide these activities in class after the student is placed, or have a student handbook that each student receives.

Why not share what you have created? Another program might be able to take your document and adapt it to their own needs.
