New Student Orientation

Parents: What to Expect and Bring to your College Meeting 

To build student independence and give space for students to make connections with other students – parents and their guests will be separated during the College Meeting. Parents will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Shane Barker our Assistant Dean of Academics. There they will get the answers to the questions submitted via a QR Code before lunch and learn more about how to support their student.

After the Guest presentation with Dr. Barker guests are encouraged to explore campus, visit other offices or relax in the air conditioned Giffels Auditorium in Old Main.

Understanding your Pre-Enrolled Schedule

Admissions sent out a survey to students in February asking for test scores and what credit students were expecting to come in with. Advisors then took that information and build students a schedule that is accordance with their major. At NSO students are able to make changes to this schedule depending on availability of classes.
