FAQs
What should I bring to summer orientation?
Summer orientation is a full day of activities and information sessions. Wear comfortable clothing that makes you feel ready to meet new people and explore your next chapter as a young adult. We also recommend bringing something you can take notes with, such as a notebook or tablet, as well as sunscreen and mosquito repellent (if you’re prone to bites) for when we’re outside. And most importantly, bring your curiosity and questions!
Can my parents come with me to summer orientation?
Yes! Parents and guardians are welcome to attend summer orientation. There are some activities specifically planned to include parents and guardians, as well as some opportunities for you to each socialize with your peer groups. Plan your visit at nearby hotels offering NCU discounts, area restaurants, and more!
What if I can’t come to summer orientation?
We strongly encourage all new students to prioritize attending mandatory summer orientation. If you are not able to attend, please contact Admissions.
