Transfer NSO

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR ORIENTATION

Transfer students may fulfill their orientation requirement through one of these options:
  • A one-day, on-campus NSO Session on one of these dates:
July 12 August 20  
  • An asynchronous online orientation module consisting of on-demand course modules and a required response form.
    • In order to satisfy your orientation requirement, it is important for you to sign up for and complete the online modules within the required timeline.


WHAT TO EXPECT FOR ACADEMIC ADVISING

After signing up for NSO, you will also be directed to schedule an appointment for academic advising, which will include information about course registration. Advising appointments may only be scheduled after you have signed up for orientation. Please allow up to 2 business days for your NSO sign-up status to be updated.

You should complete both NSO and academic advising as soon as possible to ensure course registration, financial aid awards, and an overall smooth transition to Texas State.
