Orientation Registration Instructions

Please complete the two-part registration process below: 

  1. Part 1: Students: All incoming Seaver College students must register for NSO through Wavenet and attend orientation. There is NO registration fee for students. They will start using their meal points during NSO.
  2. Part 2: Parents, Family Members, & Guests: Parents and family members are welcomed and encouraged to attend orientation. We recommend registering and paying ahead of time to avoid long lines at NSO Check-in. Guests 12 and under are free.  Note: You do not need to register and pay the fee if you are just moving your student in on check-in day. The registration and guest fees cover 4 meals over the course of 2 days.
