NSO Choose Your Own Sessions
At New Student Orientation (NSO) 2025, the "Choose Your Own Sessions" block of programming will be offered on the afternoons of Tuesday, August 19th and Wednesday, August 20th from 1pm - 4pm.
The "Choose Your Own Sessions" block of programming is designed to help acclimatize incoming students to college life at CC and will cover topics such as building good scholastic habits, managing finances, taking care of one's physical and mental health, getting involved on campus as well as tours, fairs and activities. You will have the opportunity to meet upperclass CC students, staff, faculty and your peers to learn and build community together. Though you can attend up to 3 "Choose Your Own Session" activities each day, students are only required to attend at least one "Choose Your Own Session" each day - your experience is what you make it!
Students have the opportunity to sign up for these sessions in advance starting in July - see the Pre-Arrival Checklist for more information.
