In order to prepare a pleasant experience, the future corps members must remember about the following arrangements:
Travel Arrangements
The PCMs are also encouraged to make their early plans about the travels and to make sure that they arrive in their respective orientation camps in time during the official registration.

Required Documents
PCMs should make sure that they:
* a printed call-up letter
* authentic identification papers.

Meeting documentation requirements beforehand will prevent the time lost during the registration of the camps.
Adherence to NYSC Regulations.
During the orientation exercise, the members of the corps should not ignore the rules and regulations of the NYSC. This involves conducting sessions when they are needed, attending the scheduled activities, and taking into consideration the camp rules. Compliance will lead to discipline and create the mood of the service year.
The Importance of NYSC Orientation.
The NYSC orientation program is a very important event that equips young graduates to serve their country. It also provides education, skills development courses, physical military training, and cohesion tours (besides the mandatory registration processes). The program helps the young Nigerians with diverse backgrounds to realize their roles and responsibilities as national servants.
Besides, the orientation also enables PCMs to establish permanent networks and friendships, take part in patriotic activities, and prepare both mentally and physically to serve a year.
