    Need help paying for college? Different types of financial assistance may be available to those who qualify, such as:

  • Prepare for Program Registration
    All students must:
     
    • Attend a mandatory orientation session
    • Complete and pass Principles of Sanitation, an orientation course covering food service sanitation principles and the role of food service personnel in the prevention of contamination and food borne illness.

    Students who successfully complete Principles of Sanitation will register for first semester courses to confirm their status as a Baking & Decorative Arts student.
