Transfer students coming in with 30 or more credits are welcome to attend NSO but it is not required. They should check their email for information about an optional half-day transfer orientation!
New commuter students and residential students who are first-time first-year freshmen have the same schedules except for August 21! On August 21, commuters can check in for NSO during a specific noted time while residential students will check in for NSO when they get their keys to their hall at their assigned time!
