Orientation topics include faculty expectations for students, resources at the community college, how to develop a successful educational plan, how to pay for college, how to register for college courses, what matters for college and more.

Individual Advising sessions are required for the "Returning to College" student. A Returning to College student has earned 3 or more credits at any college (other than Dual Enrolled at North Central. Dual Enrolled students will attend an Orientation session). The session is designed for transfer students, students with a college degree and former North Central students who have not attended in the past two years. An Advising session will recognize that the student possesses "going to college" knowledge and focuses on topics as they apply specifically to North Central. Topics in a session will include North Central programs of study, financial aid process, faculty expectations, and student resources. The session concludes with registering for the current open semester classes. Appointments last for approximately 1 hour.
