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.
Course registration dates:
- Accelerated II Fall (courses begin October 21) - Students can register for courses through October 18.
- Winter (courses begin December 12) - Course registration begins October 1 and ends December 11.
- Spring (courses begin January 21) - Course registration will begin on October 28.
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.
Ready To Sign Up For Part 1? Remember To Complete Your Application First!
Before you register for Orientation Part 1, make sure you’ve completed your NCC application in our Admissions Portal.
Need help with your application? Watch this short video.
Please note that we are launching a new, more efficient application system on October 18 to simplify the process of applying to NCC. If you have already begun an application in the current system, we recommend completing it before October 18 to avoid having to start over. Additionally, our Fall 2025 application will also open on October 18.
