New Student Orientation (NSO)

Once admitted, new undergraduate students are required to complete New Student Orientation (NSO), which includes virtual modules and academic advising, as well as attending and in-person session scheduled during the Summer or immediately prior to the start of the fall and Spring semesters.  Separate programs are offered for new first-year students, transfer students, and their parents and family members.  NSO prepares students and families to succeed at UNC Charlotte by understanding academic expectations, developing connections with their peers and learning about important campus processes. Visit the New Student Orientation website for more information.
