New Student Checklist
(The information below is preliminary and is subject to change)
Beginning on March 25, 2026, confirmed students will receive an email asking them to begin their New Student Checklist (NSC). The NSC is divided into three parts. You will receive the first part on March 25, the second on May 1, and the last on July 24. All three sections must be completed soon after they are sent.
The Checklist includes important tasks that each student must complete, such as the Tell Us About Yourself survey, selecting an Orientation date, completing placement testing, and finishing required online training. It will also list any other college-specific tasks to help prepare you for Orientation and the start of the academic year.
Orientation Dates
Summer 2026 includes Orientation date options from June 4 through June 16 and July 1 through July 23. Since Orientation is a two-day program, if you choose June 16 as your Day 1 (for example), you will stay overnight and finish Day 2 on June 17. Both days and the overnight stay are required for all first-year students.
