Orientation

Welcome, new students. We are so excited for you to join us! Winter Orientation is set to take place Friday, January 9th at both campuses.

Orientation takes place in September, January and May for each intake. The next Orientation will take place on Friday, January 9 for our Winter starts. Online Pre-Orientation will begin in November.

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!
