Tiger Family Resource Hub: New Student Orientation
New Student Orientation (NSO) at UofM is mandatory for all incoming freshman students, and highly encouraged for transfer and adult students. Reservations for summer New Student Orientation will be available online in mid-spring. Spring NSO (for new students admitted for the spring semester) is typically held in early January. Spring NSO registration opens in November.
New Student Orientation (NSO) provides your student with information about:
- Academic advising
- Registering for classes
- Finances
- Student involvement
- Campus resources
- And much more!
We highly encourage you to attend NSO with your student. While your student attends a student-only track, you will have the opportunity to attend "Parent & Family Orientation" - a special track that provides families with an opportunity to learn about the University of Memphis and get important information to help your student to succeed.
Your student’s orientation continues when they arrive on campus. Weeks of Welcome gives your student a chance to meet fellow Tigers and explore campus resources.
