Dragon Days are in-person extension programs for New Student Orientation (NSO) and will simultaneously offer a Family & Student Supporter Orientation during each day. Here students will have an opportunity to explore campus, meet fellow students, connect with faculty and staff, and learn about campus resources!

New Student Orientation (online) is required for all incoming students taking credit classes and provides the foundational knowledge needed for a successful start to the school year. NSO focuses on campus technology (myHCC, Canvas, etc.), important deadlines, financial aid, campus resources, academic and support programs, and more. Dragon Days are optional extensions of NSO- please be aware that Dragon Days do not fully cover all information present in New Student Orientation.

For more information and to register for a session visit the New Student Orientation page. Light refreshments provided.
