Congratulations on Becoming a Spartan!
We are incredibly excited to meet you! In order to register for classes, new students must attend a mandatory orientation session called Orientation Part 1 - Getting Started: Preparing for Advising and Registration. Review our full enrollment checklist to get the big picture.
- New Dual Enrollment students are required to complete Orientation Part 1. We offer a version of orientation that is designed specifically for them. Sign up here.
- Guest/visiting students are not required to complete Orientation Part 1 but they are strongly encouraged to complete this step.
Orientation Part 1 Overview
The orientation at Northampton Community College is a 100% virtual, 60-90 minute Zoom call. You'll learn about sending in your transcripts, completing your FAFSA, logging into your Student Workday account, accessing your NCC email and more. When possible, we recommend& that students join these sessions from a computer or laptop rather than a mobile device.
