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.

All new Penn State students, including first-year, transfer, and international students, must participate in NSO. During NSO, you will:

  • meet with students, faculty, and staff;
  • begin to develop academic and co-curricular goals;
  • become familiar with campus resources; and
  • schedule courses for your first semester to begin putting your academic plan into action.

  1. Access your NSO Task List and complete all of the outlined steps. Will become available the end of March.
  2. Complete Online Placement Tests.
