 Coyote Kickoff
WHO?

All new-to-college, degree & transfer-seeking students are required to attend Coyote Kickoff (Initial Advisement/ New Student Orientation). This includes students who have earned college credit through ACE, Dual Enrollment, or Hoop of Learning programs and are now high school graduates.

Please Note: If you are a student veteran using VA benefits, Coyote Kickoff is not required, but you are required to attend a separate Veterans-only New Student Orientation which you will be auto-enrolled in. Please email veteransservices@cgc.edu if you have questions.

Requirements to Attend

✔ Complete Enrollment Step 1

✔ Determine your placement for English, Reading, and Math using the Maricopa Community College

District Placement Policy.

✔  If you are using your 2.6 or higher unweighted grade point average (GPA), please upload your high school transcript here:

✔ Unofficial copies of the following items (if applicable):
  • High School or GED Transcript

✔ A plan to pay your tuition and fees. We highly recommend you set up a payment arrangement as soon as possible to ensure you maintain your enrollment for the semester.

What to Expect


✔  Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled Coyote Kickoff session for check-in. Late arrivals may be asked to reschedule.

✔  At Coyote Kickoff, academic advisors and college staff assist you with registering for your first semester courses. You will learn how to access and navigate the online Student Center, discuss major and degree requirements, review important college policies, and prepare for a successful first semester at CGCC.

✔  Due to the small-group format, space limitations prohibit us from allowing additional guests (including parents/guardians) to attend. Therefore, only students should plan to attend. Please see our Parent Resource Guide for more information. Questions regarding accommodations should be directed to Recruitment@cgc.edu.

Summer/Fall 2019 Coyote Kickoff sessions are now available at either the Pecos or Williams campus locations. Please click  on the button to sign up:
