Start here!
New Student Orientation and Move-in will take place between August 29 - September 1, 2025.
New Student Orientation (NSO), required for all new students, is where you will begin to feel comfortable in your new community, connect with classmates, faculty and student leaders, meet with your academic advisor, and register for classes. At orientation you will receive an introduction to our on-campus resources and informational sessions that support your transition onto our campus.
As you prepare for move-in and new student orientation, you will be asked to complete a student checklist journey with time-sensitive deadlines and action items that will be available (for students-only) inside of the Navigate360 Student App.
This checklist is designed to help you stay on track with important tasks to complete before you arrive on campus. Completing each item on time will help ensure a smooth and stress-free start to your university experience.
