New Student Orientation

All incoming freshmen students are required* to attend this important orientation event. This year's NSO will be broken into two sessions over two days with Day 1 in July and Day 2 in August to give students both the academic and campus experience to prepare for the school year. The sessions include learning how to navigate campus, registering for classes, finding out about campus support services, meeting your new classmates and building meaningful connections. 

*Please note that participation in NSO is mandatory for ALL new incoming freshmen students, even if the freshman student does not intend to live on-campus housing during the school year.
