New Student Orientation - Timeline

Timeline for students admitted Fall and Summer: 

Beginning in March, you will gain access to the NSO Tasklist. You will be able to register for a NSO date through this Tasklist, starting in April. This list will provide you with all the items that must be completed before, during, and after NSO. 

One day before your scheduled date, your PSU email will become active. You will need to use this email for all PSU correspondence moving forward, including NSO. 

June - August: You will attend a half-day in-person new student orientation. Students must attend NSO in order to schedule an individual meeting with an academic advisor and enroll in courses.
