You are about to embark on an exhilarating collegiate experience. New College—your new home—awaits your brilliance this fall.
Before you arrive, we have some forms for you to complete in advance (and we’ve outlined them quickly and simply for you below).
So let’s go! It’s time to write the next chapter together. We can’t wait!
Ready to get to know your New College crew? This is your opportunity to connect with your classmates. Join our Facebook group for incoming students and chat with fellow Novos!
Before you arrive, we need you to check off a couple items on your to-do list:
If you plan to live off campus and take all of your classes remotely, just remember the CWC needs to receive everyone’s negative test before they can come to campus. If you test positive for COVID-19, you will need to self-quarantine for at least 14 days. Also: If you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, or if you have recently been in a country with CDC COVID-19 US entry travel restrictions you should self-quarantine for 14 days.
If you have trouble getting access to a test, or have any other questions at all, please contact us by July 28 at wellness@ncf.edu. Let’s all work together to have a great fall!
In order to disperse Financial Aid for the 20-21 school year, Financial Aid needs to confirm each student’s plan for living on or off campus.
To access the form, you will need to be logged into your myNCF account.

Academic Advising Questionnaire
Please send these as soon as possible. We understand many of you are still in school, so we can extend this deadline to July 1, if needed. We need your official transcript sent directly to NCF Admissions from each high school and college. This includes college transcripts for all college course work, including dual enrollment and summer college courses. Official SAT or ACT scores need to come to us directly from the testing agency, or be included on your official school transcript.
If you have any AP, IB, AICE, or CLEP scores you want considered toward transfer credit, we won’t prompt you for these; but you should order the scores be sent directly to the NCF Registrar from the testing agency.
Final Transcripts – Submit to New College directly from each school and college
Official Test Scores – Send scores via the SAT or ACT OR on a final official transcript
If you need help, reach out to your admissions counselor, or contact Admissions at 941-487-5000 or admissions@ncf.edu.
