Nighthawk Enrollment Day is hosted by Nash Community College on Oct 23 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Brown Auditorium (located in the Business & Industry Center -- Old Carriage Road entrance). This day is for prospective, newly applied, and returning students to get a full day of step-by-step assistance from NCC staff and faculty through registration. College Foundation of North Carolina documents, registration, and financial aid can be intimidating. This is the opportunity to drop in anytime with parents/guardians and their questions. The best part, and the goal, is that students can register for their Spring Semester courses before they leave. There will also be an opportunity to print their schedule, get a Student I.D. made, and pay their tuition if they are ready. Visit https://nashcc.edu/enrollmentday/ for items that may be needed during the event that students will need to bring. If students interested and worried that they haven't applied, there is always time to apply to Nash Community College. Fill out an application at https://nashcc.edu/admissions/#the-steps.
