As of July 2020, NCCAT has moved to a new Student Management System called Orbund, which will make applying for our programs much easier.
Registrants should look for emails from [email protected] regarding their account or placement. Some emails may find their way into your spam/junk folder.
Important information about the Orbund Management System:
- Orbund is a cloud system.
- To apply for programs, applicants must complete a simple MyNCCAT user account form.
- You only need to complete the user form once.
- Applicants are classified as “Students” within the system.
- Programs or events are called “Classes” in the system.
- You will be able to see a history of the programs you have attended, starting at the time you create your account.
- A “shopping cart” system is used to select the classes for which you wish to apply.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I create an account so that I can apply for programs?
Visit www.nccat.org and click on the "CREATE MYNCCAT ACCOUNT" link in the upper right of the homepage. Once you complete and submit, you will receive an email with your Username, your Role Designation (which will be “Student”), a link to log into the registration system, and a link to the shopping cart system.
How do I create a password and log into the system?
Once you receive your email confirmation, click on the link to log into the registration system.
On the login page, enter your username, select student as your role type, then click on "Forgot Password" to create your new password.
Once you create your password, you will be redirected back to the login page to complete the login and access your account page.
How do I know what programs are available?
Visit www.nccat.org and click on the "Calendar of Programs" under the "Programs" tab. You may also click on "Apply Now" tab in the menu bar.
You can log into the registration system to your account page and click “Shopping Cart” on the right side of the page.
Can I search for programs in a particular content area?
Yes. Once you are in the shopping cart, you can search by Campus, Department (Content Type), Grade Level, and Date.
How will I know if I am placed in a program?
Once you’ve applied for a program within two weeks, you will receive an email, which will either confirm your placement in the program or your continued status on the waitlist.
You can also log into the system with your username and password and click on the “Events” menu icon on the left of the screen. It will show the programs you are placed in and completed programs.
What if I have issues or questions?
When you are logged into the system, you can click the “Tracking” menu on the left, then select the “Complaints and Issues” item to submit your issues or questions.
You can also go to www.nccat.org and click on “Contact Us” or visit https://www.nccat.org/contact-us.
What is available on my page when I log in?
Any messages or announcements sent to you.
The programs you are currently placed in and past programs you have completed as of July 2020.
A list of submitted complaints and issues.
I’ve created an account with you before. Do I need to do so again?
As we transition fully into this new program, it is a common misconception that accounts registered prior to July 2020 (accounts with Canvas, etc.) are the same as a MyNCCAT account. Teachers will need to ensure that a MyNCCAT account is created in order to receive their certificates and/or relevant course information. Our Teacher Services office may reach out to you to complete your account information.
