New Student Orientation at Penn State University Park includes action items and activities in three main areas for new first-year students:
- NSO Tasklist
- Academic Consultation and Course Scheduling
- In-person New Student Orientation program
New students will use the NSO Tasklist to make a reservation to attend an in-person NSO program as well as selecting a date range to complete their Academic Consultation and Course Scheduling. All students will complete online modules as part of the NSO Tasklist before the in-person NSO and the Academic Consultation and Course Scheduling.
We've worked to design the NSO Tasklist to help your student move through all of their orientation steps for Penn State, it's the key to completing each of their orientation activities. Only students have access to this list, but to help you support them, we've created a list of items that may be helpful for you to review. You can access this list by visiting orientation.psu.edu/family/homework.
