Your NSO Experience
Here鈥檚 what to expect from NSO.
Online Modules
Mandatory for students. Optional for guests.
When you register for NSO, you will receive a link to the NSO modules in your MIX email. These modules are mandatory and completing them is what allows you to meet with an adviser. They should take about 2 hours to finish and can be completed on your own time.
Submitting a Student ID Photo
Mandatory for students.
Say cheese and show us your best smile! After registering for NSO, review the Mountaineer Card (探花社区 student ID) photo and as soon as possible.
A Virtual Advising Appointment
Mandatory for students.
Students will not be able to meet with an adviser without first completing the online modules.
During your virtual advising appointment, you鈥檒l meet one-on-one with a professional adviser and finalize your first semester class schedule. Before the meeting, you should review your college or school鈥檚 NSO information in the modules. Honors students should also review the Honors NSO page.
If you have not taken ALEKS at this point, you should absolutely do so before meeting with your adviser.
An In-Person, On-Campus Program
Mandatory for all students and highly recommended for guests.
Your in-person NSO program is your official introduction to campus. You'll get answers to your questions, explore campus and learn about student life from those who're already living it.
