ABOUT NSO

New Student Orientation at the University of Georgia seeks to prepare students for academic and social engagement as members of the UGA community. Through our transition programs and resources, we aim to provide information and experiences that will support students and their family in their transition to college and to the University of Georgia.

The New Student Orientation program supports the Division of Student Affairs by working towards its mission: to inspire students to engage meaningfully, grow intellectually, and build character so they will create thriving communities.

As you prepare to join the UGA community, we aim to support you throughout this transition as you progress towards a timely graduation! The University of Georgia is committed to providing students with a positive learning experience and believe that to ensure a productive start to that journey, there is information and experiences that students need to receive and take part in.

Attendance at a New Student Orientation session is MANDATORY for all incoming students.
