Congratulations!
In choosing to continue your education at Nassau Community College, you've made a really smart decision. It's a decision that will enrich your life and reward you in many ways.
To help you get the most out of your Nassau experience, we've prepared an informative and enjoyable New Student Orientation program, scheduled for later in the summer.
Orientation is important! It will ease your transition to college, help you learn about Nassau, give you a chance to meet your classmates, and provide some ideas about how to do well in your classes and have a good time in college.
So when you receive your invitation to Orientation, be sure to attend! We're looking forward to meeting you.
Meanwhile, browse this page and the links to your left--there's lots of interesting information here. And if you have questions, feel free to call the Office of Student Activities (516.572.7148). We'll do our best to help.
Welcome!
When will Orientation take place?
New Student Orientation for fall 2014 is scheduled for the final week of August. The Orientation program will be held eight times: Monday, August 25 (9:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.); Tuesday, August 26 (9:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.); Wednesday, August 27 (1:15 p.m.); and Thursday, August 28 (9:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m). You will be invited to attend ONE of these sessions. For more information, call 516. 572.7148. Can I bring guests, parents or children? No. Guests, parents and children are not allowed to stay with you throughout the program. Orientation is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet and mingle with their classmates. Parents and family members will be invited to a special Parent Orientation session in early September. How long does the Orientation program run? Plan to spend about 3-3 1/2 hours on campus for the full Orientation experience. During this time, you'll learn all about the College (including how to do well in your classes), meet other students, tour the campus, have a meal with your orientation leaders, and go home with some useful NCC publications and other cool stuff. How do I get to the NCC Campus? You can access directions to the campus here. The directions and maps on the web site provide links to the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, NYC Transit, and NICE Bus.
