New Student Orientation

Students in a computer lab for new student orientation.

Welcome to New River CTC

We’re excited to have you join our college community! Orientation is an important first step for all students, designed to help you become familiar with the resources, tools, and support available to you at New River CTC.

Through orientation, you’ll learn how to navigate the MyNewRiver portal, access Brightspace, explore the college catalog, and make the most of our student services. It’s an excellent way to prepare for a successful college experience. Orientation is available online through Brightspace and can be accessed by logging into your MyNewRiver portal.

New students are encouraged to attend our hybrid orientation session, held the week before the semester begins. This session offers an opportunity to connect in person or via Zoom, ask questions, and get a deeper understanding of what to expect as a New River CTC student.

We look forward to supporting you on your journey!
