The College of Computing and Information Sciences (CCIS) conducted its General Orientation and Faculty Onboarding on August 19, 2026, at the University Gymnasium, Caraga State University. The event was attended by faculty members and students from all departments of the college.

Following this, the College Dean, Prof. Jaymer M. Jayoma, ITD, delivered his message, challenging all students to give their best effort in everything they do.
To properly orient the students to the culture and identity of the University, the CCIS QuAMs Core Group Member and Overall Coordinator, Ms. Mary Rose O.

The morning session concluded with an orientation on the Safe Spaces Code and PADI Orientation, led by the Head of the Gender and Development Program and Training Development Unit, Ms. Marjorie L.

The afternoon session featured parallel, program-specific orientations, where faculty members discussed the Program Educational Objectives, Program Outcomes, the curriculum at large, advising, grading, and retention policies, along with a walkthrough of the various facilities housed in Hiraya Hall.
The annual orientation program of CCIS aims to welcome and prepare incoming and continuing students for the academic year ahead โ introducing them to the college's faculty, policies, and support systems while reinforcing the University's core identity, values, and commitment to a safe, inclusive, and quality-driven learning environment. Through this, CCIS continues to affirm its commitment to student success and excellence, true to its tagline: "CCIS, your best option to success."
