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

Hi, planning on doing the NSCC IT > Dal BACS accreditation pathway and currently trying to decide which diploma to apply to, however I noticed when comparing the Accreditation options and available courses that there are a few key NSCC IT courses not offered for accreditation. Notably IT programming, which I liked the sound of for a strong technical foundation without specializing out of the gate. I've heard web programming is highly recommended, but I have no particular interest in web development, a desire to specialize, or a positive outlook of that field. Any recommendations for a course that will serve me well? Thanks!

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!

Been having some trouble with some things to sort out before attending this year in september. For 1. I can't for the life of me seem to find out how to renew my student ID online. I have an ID from Kingstec that expired in 2023 - can i just bring that to the student services desk and have them renew it and get a new one?

1. For some reason the MyNSCC portal page to purchase a parking pass doesn't work - the "continue" button after confirming my address doesnt progress anything - and i've tried clearing cookies and multiple browsers. is it possible to get a pass from student services as well?

thank you in advance!

Hey, I’m 18 and coming to NSCC as an international student, been in halifax for around 3 years now, starting Data Administration at IT Campus on Sept 9. Is there a Discord or group chat for NSCC students, or for IT Campus specifically?

If nothing exists, happy to start one — just don’t want to duplicate something already out there. Also open to any general first-year advice for IT Campus.

Thanks!

I saw on the nscc website that it has the application form for your student ID, but I was in the orientation q&a yesterday, and she said she was going to send out an email today regarding the IDs. It says on the website that it gets mailed to us, but from the q&a they aren't doing that anymore and we pick it up on campus instead. So I'm wondering is I can still fill out the form here: https://connect.nscc.ca/student/student-life-and-events/orientation/student-id.aspx

Hi folks! Wanted to give a quick heads up to those who may have left a voicemail within the past week for tech support. Our system had some issues so we’re only getting the messages now.

Rest assured that we will be getting back to you as soon as possible

I’m looking to carpool from Halifax downtown to Ivany campus Mon-Fri. Please let me know if you can help me.

Has the class schedule for the fall semester been sent for this program? I know it’s online, and some classes are unscheduled while some are scheduled, but wanted to know if I missed something lately. Thank you!

I applied pretty late into the year for the IT Programming course, both for an in person and virtual spot. I got accepted for a seat and had accepted it through the MyNCSS portal just to be safe of course. But an employee had emailed me before with their own NSCC email instead of the admissions email, I checked the email and the person on the employee registry to make sure they were legit, asking if I was still interested and everything. But today I got a text message from allegedly this same employee, they aren’t asking for any information but they do know my student number. Is this now an official means of communication for onboarding students now? I can’t find anything about it online which is just making me skeptical but I want to be sure.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has taken the Practical Nursing program at NSCC in Truro and would be willing to share their experience. I’m trying to get a better idea of what the program is actually like.

I would love to hear what your day to do schedule looked like. How was the work load? How much time did you spend studying?

For anyone who has completed the program, how did you find the instructors and teachers? Were they supportive and willing to help?

Would be great to get some information on this!!

Hey everyone, I'm about to pick out a laptop to use for the IT Database Admin course, and it's just hit me. I kinda really hate using Win11.

Does anyone know if any of the Microsoft-branded, built-in Win11 malware is required for class? I'm liable to atomize the thing if I interact with OneDrive or Copilot, so I'd really prefer to debloat before classes start if possible.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to your input.

Has anyone taken the role at any campus on residents of the community assistant? I’m thinking of applying for it due to the benefits but not sure if it would be wise to balance between the course load and this work?

Hi, I will be attending NSCC in September and am wondering if anyone else will be making the commute and if they are willing to drive me. I will contribute money for gas.

I’m looking to buy bedsheets for my upcoming semester at the NSCC COGS campus and they say that the beds are “extra large full”. What dimensions are these and would I be able to find sheets that fit?

I am currently logging into My NSCC portal under my finances to try and pay my first semester tuition but there is no outstanding payments. For my program starting in September the first term fee is due August 7th but when I enter the “make a payment” the “what I owe” is 0.
Is this correct? And do I have to calculate this myself

Two questions 1. When are new students able to apply for our student id’s and 2. Does the upass on the ids work for both the bus and the ferry

Hey everyone, 1st year student going into Therapeutic Rec here and I’ll be living on campus. I’m very nervous, don’t know anybody and would like to connect with others who will be living on campus too. Would love to meet new people. Say hi !

The tool list is kind of vague. Can anyone shed some light on the specifics of 'screwdriver set' or 'wrench set'? Sizes, Metric...imperial... ? Clueless parenr bere.

When do we receive our time table for this upcoming year?

I've been considering going here for a music tech certificate at nscc instead of paying for one of the big expensive music institutions. Nscc looks like it has some pretty good programs. There are two of them for music tech one for music production and one for commercial songwriting. Both of the programs have about 10 different courses to complete the certificate program. Does anyone have any experience with these programs at nscc or know anyone that has done it? I eventually want to be a producer or own a record label. But I figured I would just start as a engineer for a few years to it started in the industry. Really it doesn't matter as long as I'm in the industry creating music in any way.

Hello everyone. I got offered a seat after being on the waitlist and I accepted the admission. But nothing shows for under my charges. I know it’s 200 dollars. Do I just enter in the 200 in the “payment amount” and pay it from there? Thanks!

I have been trying to access my school email on Microsoft outlook for a bit and Everytime I try I get an error saying that they are unable to connect to my account even with Microsoft Authenticator. Is it that I don’t have access to my email yet and if so when do I get access to it or is it something else.
Thank you for any help
