Orientation
First year students kick off their first school year with a month of orientation events, including Orientation. Orientation is the ultimate opportunity to provide you with a warm welcome, and to ease you into college life. The most important thing will be to attend your Program Information Session on Orientation. This is your chance to connect with your program coordinators and instructors. Your professors are excited to welcome you to NC! Keep checking back for further Orientation information!
