Congratulations! You’re on your way to becoming a bulldog!
You are about to embark on a life-changing journey, and we are excited you have chosen SWOSU. It will not take you long to realize how you fit in at SWOSU and that it is the right place for you!
What is New Student Orientation?
New Student Orientation (NSO) is designed to help new students learn more about college life at SWOSU. We offer several different events and programs to help students get familiar with campus, enroll in classes, and connect with other students.
NSO begins with a New Student Orientation & Enrollment Session. Dates for these events begin in April and occur throughout the summer, as well, so there are plenty of opportunities to come to campus and get enrolled!
Welcome Week activities & the SWOSUConnect course are also part of the NSO experience. During Welcome Week there are opportunities to meet new friends, find ways to get involved, and explore more of what SWOSU has to offer. All incoming freshmen students are required to take SWOSUConnect during their first semester. This course provides ongoing support throughout the entire first semester from caring instructors and Orientation Leaders (OLs) who will ensure you understand the ins & outs of college and encourage you to do your best!
