New Student Orientation
New Student Orientation
At Quincy College NSO you will find professionals ready to assist you, services to help you along the way, and a community of learners.
Welcome New Students
We look forward to welcoming all new students to the Quincy College community as part of the New Student Orientation (NSO) program. We are excited to offer in-person and live virtual orientation program sessions to give students an idea of what to expect as they begin their education at Quincy College.
At our New Student Orientation, you will be introduced to all Quincy College offers. Learn about support services and extracurricular activities, meet faculty and staff — and other incoming students like you! It is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the campus, ask questions, finalize your semester schedule, or meet with a Financial Aid counselor.
We look forward to welcoming you this fall and encourage you to contact us with any questions by email studentlife@quincycollege.edu.
Registration for Spring 2025 Orientation is now closed.
