Student Orientation


College Success Strategies Course

The College Success Strategies Course (CSSC) is a six-week course intended to introduce students to college. Students will learn to access various college resources, guidance and support from faculty, staff and peers to fully develop academic and life skills. Emphasis is placed on increasing student success through personal growth, study skills development and educational planning. The topics studied promote learning, understanding, critical thinking and perseverance in college. First-time NPC students and returning or transfer students with 12 or fewer credits are required to complete the CSSC. Students taking only noncredit and online POS NPC classes are exempt.

The CSSC is designed to address student questions and concerns about NPC registration, services, and educational planning. The CSSC is provided at no cost to students.

Courses are scheduled at various times at each campus and center during the fall and spring semester registration periods through the second week of classes. To register for a CSSC, contact your campus/center office or the NPC Records & Registration Office. A complete listing of CSSC locations and times can be found at www.npc.edu/college-success-strategies.

Note: Students who do not complete the CSSC during their first semester at NPC (or returning students with 12 or fewer credit hours) will be blocked from registering for any more classes until they have completed an orientation session.

Your academic adviser can answer questions about CSSC.
