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.
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.
