New Student Orientation

New Students

New Student Orientation (NSO) is designed to acquaint new students with the campus and the many available campus resources that enhance both academic success and personal development. Freshman Orientation and Transfer Orientation focus on several important areas, including the curriculum, academic advising, college success, scholarships and financial aid, campus activities, student services, student organizations, Cougar Spirit, and campus facilities. Enrollment (registration) for coursework also takes place during the event. New students will have an opportunity to interact with upperclassmen, faculty, academic advisors, and university staff members. By attending NSO, new students will be best prepared for the start of the first term.

New Student Orientation (NSO) is mandatory for all incoming freshmen and transfer students. More information can be found at uh.edu/orientation. Questions about New Student Orientation should be directed to orientation@uh.edu or by calling the Office of Admissions at 713-743-1010, option 4.
