New Student Orientation (NSO)
Congratulations on your admission to Penn State Schuylkill!
New Student Orientation (NSO) assists first-year students with their transition to Penn State by introducing them to the academic culture and campus resources.
What happens during NSO?
This program is the first stage of academic advising, and helps students become familiar with...
- how they will progress through their degree program
- what their educational and professional interests include
- the academic structure and degree programs of the University
The NSO program will provide you with the opportunity to...
- learn about your placement test results
- meet with an academic adviser to review your educational plans
- register in advance for fall semester classes
Additionally, you will receive your Penn State computer access account and will have fun while becoming familiar with campus.
