Student Services

Orientation‌

Orientation is required for all new students and is held each term before the start of classes. At this time, students are introduced to key faculty and staff members, as well as many of the College policies and procedures. The spouse and/or family of the student are welcome and highly encouraged to attend the orientation.

Advising Services

The objective of the advising program is to guide and assist each student with developing his/her capabilities to their fullest potential. Beginning with New Student Orientation and continuing throughout each student’s CCNN career, the College’s faculty and staff are a ready source of assistance. While in College, each student undergoes many adjustments, both academic and personal, and the transition is not always as smooth as one would hope it to be. Faculty and staff work with each student in order to help him/her make the transition more smoothly. As students near the end of their college career advising services and support shifts emphasis to career planning assistance, which is managed by the Placement Services office. See discussion below for more information regarding this important program and resource.
