Each semester, the happiest new students are those who arrive prepared, allowing them to relax, make new friends, and truly enjoy the New Student Orientation (NSO) process. Unfortunately, there are a small number of students who arrive having not completed the items on the action-required checklist below. For them, NSO can be a stressful time running around to complete tasks and the realization of missed opportunities.
Either way, NSO will be memorable. Make it memorable for the right reasons.
