LAKE CITY, Fla. – Florida Gateway College will hold three New Student Orientation (NSO) sessions in August for students starting college at FGC this Fall. This will be FGC’s first in-person, on-campus NSO since before the pandemic began more than three years ago.

“The goal of NSO is to give our students the best possible start to their college careers,” said Tony Cardenas, FGC Vice President of Student Affairs and Public Information. “We understand that there is no one successful route through college. FGC orientation will introduce our new students to all the educational opportunities that will help guide them through their chosen route.”

Orientation sessions will prepare newly enrolled students for their first semester at FGC and set them on the path to a successful college career. Specialized parent sessions will teach about all of the resources available to students and their families at FGC.

Participants will attend one of three sessions held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on three dates in August.

Students will tour the campus and have a chance to meet with representatives from college departments including Academic Advising, Student Success, Financial Aid, Student Activities, and many others. They will learn about the resources, services, and facilities offered at FGC, from tutoring and career guidance to clubs, student government, and athletics.

Each day of NSO will come to a close in FGC’s Student Activities Building, Bldg. 7, where lunch will be provided and one attendee will win a $250 Follett Gift Card to be used for books, supplies, apparel and more at the FGC Bookstore.

Spots are limited. New FGC students can visit www.www.fgc.edu/nso to learn more about New Student Orientation, check availability, and sign up to attend.
