Questions & Answers

What should I bring to OAR?

Students will need to bring a photo ID to check-in to the OAR session. You will also need to know the last four digits of your social security number.

Will lunch be served?

Lunch is not provided. We will provide a light snack and bottled water during a break in the presentation. For those attending OAR on the Main Campus, there is a coffee shop in Cross Hall that has pizza, sandwiches, snacks, and beverages available for purchase. Their summer hours are 7:30am-1:30pm.

I took dual credit/early college courses through NCMC. Do I have to attend an OAR session?

Yes, there is some additional information that you will need as a first-time freshman at NCMC that is provided during orientation. OAR is designed to familiarize you with the NCMC campus, faculty, and staff. It also gives you insight into the resources available to help you in and out of the classroom.

Can I bring a guest?

Yes, parents or family members are welcome, but will attend a separate guest presentation during the session. Space is limited, so we ask that students on the Main Campus bring a maximum of two guests and students attending OAR at the Savannah campus bring a maximum of one guest.

Will I meet with my advisor at OAR?

Our Academic Advisors facilitate the OAR session and are available to answer questions and help with schedule changes at the end of each session. Not all faculty/staff advisors are available to attend all sessions due to scheduling conflicts. You will be advised during check-in if your faculty/staff advisor will be available at the end of the session.

Can I see the dorms while I'm on campus for OAR?

Yes! The dorms are included in the optional tour prior to your OAR session (Main Campus only). The optional campus tour begins at 10:45am in Alexander Hall.

Will I be able to meet with someone from Financial Aid while on campus?

A Financial Aid Representative will present to both the guests and students during the OAR session. If you have specific questions about your aid, you can visit the Financial Aid Office in Alexander Hall before or after OAR. If you are attending OAR at Savannah, a Financial Aid Representative will be available for individual questions after the OAR session.
