New Student Orientation is more than just a formal introduction to college; it's your first real taste of what life at JCU is like. You’ll meet fellow incoming students, familiarize yourself with the campus, and learn all about the organizations you can get involved in on campus. Parents are invited to attend NSO too.
You can register for NSO in your myJCU Gateway portal beginning on March 2. All students planning to attend JCU must attend an orientation session, and all sessions are two-day on-campus experiences.

All students enrolling at John Carroll must have a final high school transcript on file. This transcript must include complete senior year grades and must show the date of high school graduation.

- Emailed as an attachment directly from the school (from a school-issued email address) to admission@jcu.edu
- Mailed to: Office of Admission 麻豆社 1 John Carroll Blvd. University Heights, OH 44118
Final high school transcripts should be submitted to John Carroll by July 1.
