New Student Orientation (NSO)

All incoming students are required to participate in the New Student Orientation (NSO) at least once and are encouraged to attend as many times as possible in order to remain informed regarding important matters. NSO will cover major student topics from the Student Handbook as well as from the Academic Catalog (e.g., student life and conduct, staff and faculty, academic policies and advisors, financial information and student record, library services, and other information). Recorded archives of the sessions are available to students who are unable to attend or those who desire to review the contents. Additional tutorials related to systems and operations are available to help students understand the information systems utilized by the seminary. These archived videos will be available through the Canvas, as well as through other avenues of communication to students, as needed.
