New Student Orientation is the first step in discovering all the great experiences Endicott College has to offer! Through meeting our community, making connections, and learning about a wide variety of activities and organizations, our New Student Orientation will help ease you into life at Endicott. Welcome to your second home!
Summer New Student Orientation
Summer New Student Orientation will be on June 23, 24, or 25. Registration opens on May 4 and ends on June 16. Please choose one date to attend. A Parent & Family Orientation will run concurrently with the Student Orientation. Students and their families will be together during the first and last sessions of the day.
All new students are required to complete the health form by July 1, 2026.
Workday for Friends & Family
Workday offers you access to your student’s grades, tuition balances, class schedules, and more, all in one place!
Log in to Workday Friends and Family with your full issued username (example: WDGenerated_jsmith123). Please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account. Workday replaces Parent Portal. If you previously used Parent Portal to access your student’s information and make payments, please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account.
To get started, your student must assign you as a Friends & Family contact and grant "third party permissions" for you to view their account. Endicott cannot grant the permissions on behalf of your Student. Once permissions are granted, you’ll receive two auto-generated emails from Workday with your login credentials and activation instructions. If you wish to make payments on your student’s behalf, you will additionally need to be added as an authorized user in Nelnet.
An overview of Workday Friends & Family at Endicott College, including helpful guides and step-by-step instructions, can be found here.
