Is NSO mandatory for all new students? All incoming students should attend a New or Transfer Student Orientation to learn some great information about the college and register for classes on the same day! What happens at Orientation? At Orientation you will learn about campus resources, technology and other tips that will help you be successful. Best of all, you get to register for the schedule you want on the same day! How do I register for Orientation? Once you have completed your application to HCC and turned in all necessary paperwork, you will receive an invitation via email to register for one of our upcoming sessions. When do Orientations happen? Our Orientations typically run from May-July for the Fall semester, and October-December for our Spring semester. When do I register for my classes? You register for classes at your Orientation. You will have campus advisement staff available to help you enroll and answer any questions you have. What do I do if I need to reschedule my Orientation? Due to event limits, please try your best to keep the original session you choose. If you need to reschedule, please reach out to sscu@hostos.cuny.edu and let us know.. Where is Orientation located? All Orientation sessions are currently being held in a virtual environment. Once you register for a session, you will receive a confirmation email with all necessary information on attending your session! What happens if I do not attend Orientation? Students who do not attend Orientation will miss out on the basics to help you succeed at HCC. You will also end up choosing classes at a later time than most other students, which may result in a less than ideal schedule due to less class sections being available. If I am in ASAP do I need to attend an Orientation? ASAP students do not need to attend the SSCU Orientation. They will attend an ASAP specific Orientation with our ASAP colleagues.
