New Student Orientation
NWACC's online orientation sets you up for success! It's your first step to register for classes, and it's mandatory for all first-time college students. The earlier you complete orientation, the sooner you can register for your desired classes and obtain the schedule you want.

STUDENT ORIENTATION STEPS:
- Select the College Student Orientation option below.
- Complete the entire orientation course – including the survey at the end!
- Make sure to check both your personal and NWACC student email for updates from Enrollment Services! After you finish the survey, an advisor will reach out once they’ve removed your orientation hold and added course recommendations to your Academic Plan in Workday. Don’t forget to check your Spam/Junk folder in case the email sneaks in there!
- NOTE: If this is your first-time attending college after completing post-secondary studies (e.g., high school, GED), you must complete the online orientation.
At NorthWest Arkansas Community College, we value the support system that helps students succeed. We encourage Students to complete the Student Orientation independently, while their support network (parent, family, spouse, etc) can explore the optional Student Support Orientation.
PARENT & FAMILY ORIENTATION STEPS:
- Select the Parent & Family Orientation option below.
- Take the optional orientation course and learn about admissions, financial aid, resources and more.
