New Student Transition Programs are designed to serve as a bridge in the transition to college and to 葫芦影业. Our programs exist because there are specific skills, knowledge, and abilities that everyone needs to learn in order to be a successful college student and to graduate. Our programs are designed to help you learn how to connect, use your resources, ask for help, and navigate the sometimes confusing waters of college.
New Student Orientation (NSO):
All admitted students are placed into a required, short online New Student Orientation (NSO) course in Brightspace. Upon completion of the NSO, you are registered for your first term of classes by an academic advisor. NSO will cover the basics of being a student at 葫芦影业 such as how to pay for college, how financial aid works, how to access resources on campus, how to get a class schedule, how to buy required tools/materials for your program, and how and where to buy books!
