In choosing to continue your education at Great Bay Community College, you’ve made a decision that will enrich your life and reward you in many ways. 

New Student Orientation – Portsmouth Campus

Three dates to choose from:

  • Tuesday, August 20, 9:00-4:00PM
  • Wednesday, August 21, 9:00-4:00PM
  • Thursday, August 22, 3:00-8:00PM

Required for all new students. Orientation is an opportunity to gain insight into what to expect at Great Bay, learn about opportunities to get involved in campus activities, clubs/organizations, as well as participate in an important technology session that will help prepare you for a successful college career. Attendees will receive GBCC swag!

If a student cannot attend in person there will be an online orientation in Canvas. Nonparticipants will be registered for late August. They shouldn’t panic or stress but look for the module in Canvas to complete closer to the start of classes.
