Oldest son is starting NSCC last minute.

Do students still get Apps(MS Office/365) at student discounts?

Are any of the IT technology requirements overkill?

Managed to get him the recommended Laptop. Have some older 512GB/1TB ext SSD drives. Trying to avoid buying new. Assume 1TB would be for VMs.

Thanks.

I’m starting Electrical Engineering Technology this year and I’m wondering if I can get away with trying to find pdfs of my textbooks online, or if buying physical copies from the bookstore is expected or needed? Not looking to drop $600 if I don’t have to.

Has anyone bought it yet? Looking for ISBN/edition etc

Ty

Going to Burridge. Anyone have any books?

Also anyone else going into the program this year?

Just to let others know, to check your room assignment and roommates (if you have roommates) they should be up on the housing portal in your housing application details. At least for Akerley housing it is. And I didn’t get an email about it either so make sure to check your housing application

Y’all should check the student housing portal under your application details. I never got an email for it, but I looked this morning and can now see my roommate’s.

I’m at Ivany but I’m sure all schools go up around the same-ish time.

Okay this kind of sounds like a dumb question to me but I would really appreciate if anyone who lived in the dorms (specifically ivany but any would work) could tell me how big the closet / wardrobe is? Just for a point of reference for how many clothes I should bring :) thank you!!

Hey y'all, is anyone else here moving into the akerley dorms, and If so, has anyone gotten info about room assignments yet? I haven't gotten anything yet myself so I can only assume they have a lot of people to place in rooms, but it is only a week left till move in afterall

How many of you are in the program?

I got in a email we would get specific details about orientation late August and I haven’t received anything yet. I have no idea what time it starts on the 8th or where I’m supposed to go for my program. I’m assuming when we get there, there will be people to tell us where to go. But then again, I have no idea what time I’m actually supposed to be there for? 8:30am? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
For reference, I’m going to Ivany Campus

Edit: for those who still need the schedule of specific times for your orientation for your program & other orientation events

I’m living on campus at Ivany this year I was wondering if anyone else is nervous about living on campus, I’m honestly more nervous about meeting my roommates and if they will be nice. I know this isn’t everyone but I have heard story’s about bad roommates from some friends and my sister, I just want to know if this is something anyone else is feeling this way?

Looking for any info on the blended flex schedule for practical nursing.
I have quite the commute to most of the locations and am trying to choose which campus would be my best choice.
How many days were you on campus for your blended flex program? I know clinicals and labs can change this but just looking for a rough estimate

Hello,

I’m in the process of applying for the Blended Flex LPN program at the Kentville campus for 2027. I was wondering if it’s possible to continue working while completing the program.

I’d really appreciate hearing from any current or recent students about their experience—especially how manageable the course load is while working and what the program is like overall. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Repost in hopes of reaching more people :) I'm starting at the Akerley campus on September 8th and was hoping to make some friends before the semester starts :)

Some info about me, I'm a 23 year old woman and its my first time back in school since I graduated high school in 2021. I'm hoping some people are also looking to make friends before it starts

Just wondering if anyone else is taking or has taken this program? How have you found it if you’ve already taken it?

I will be starting on September 8th!

Hello. I'm an international student currently debating on studying Electrical Engineering Technology on the Ivany Campus. It says on the website that they would open the Admission on late September but the program says that it's on waitlist. How long do I have to wait to get in? And anyone here have an experience on the said program? Thanks for answering.

Hello everyone, I’ll be starting the IT Database Admin program on the IoT campus starting this September, and I’m a bit unsure on the proper courtesy expected of me towards the faculty who’ll be instructing us.

I’m concerned I might make an ass of myself by acting abnormally formal; however, I don’t want my ignorance to cause any unintended disrespect towards anyone.

To those of you who have prior experience at NSCC, please let me know anything you might think is relevant. All I can think to ask now is:

1. Is professor the preferred title of the instructors at NSCC? If not, what is?

2. Are class period beginning/end times a hard line? Will I be a bother if I show up early to set up, or if I have to leave early?

3. How strict is the attendance policy? Chronic migraines are a huge issue for me, and I’m hoping I’ll have the choice to study at home if I feel a bit incapacitated by them.

I’m also open to any general advice you might offer, and I hope that we can all hit the ground running in the upcoming term.

Thank you in advance!

I just took a look at my course schedule on MyNSCC for Medical Office Admin and the 1st course listed is ACTG 1100 - Bookkeeping.

Is this correct? Bookkeeping isn't even listed as a course on the program page on NSCC's website.

Edited to add: Can anyone who is taking Medical Office Admin at the IT Campus this fall confirm? Tks.

Anyone have experience on bringing a bar fridge? I recall reading somewhere that they are allowed? Is there a size or some other factor that decides how big is too big?

Thx

And have ppl gotten their room assignments yet?

Hi yall!
I’m in the Lit course and Ivany! I met a bunch of you at the get started day! If there’s anyone who wants to connect then I started a groupchat with everyone in our class!
Let me know!

Anyone else starting the Nonprofit Leadership program in September? If so let’s connect!

I’m in my late 20s fresh out of my undergraduate in sociology and Sociolegal studies, and am using this year as a bridge year before going to the UK for grad school! I’m a two-spirt, queer, disabled musician, actor, artist, and animal lover. I’m really excited to see what this program has to offer and am hoping to make new friends along the way!

Hoping that this is allowed. I'm starting at the Akerley campus on September 8th and was hoping to make some friends before the semester starts :)

Some info about me, I'm a 23 year old woman and its my first time back in school since I graduated high school in 2021. I'm hoping some people are also looking to make friends before it starts

Anyone starting in IT programming for AI this September?

Also if anyone graduated from the same course, your opinion on the course and college is appreciated. Thanks!
