All new first-year students to Penn State must participate in New Student Orientation (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.

To prepare for a successful transition to Penn State, we've developed an NSO Tasklist to help you navigate your next steps. Your NSO Tasklist will generally be available one business day after you accept your offer of admission to Penn State.

Here are some helpful tips for you as you plan to access your NSO Tasklist:

• You will receive an email when the tasklist opens for you. This email is sent to the address that you provided on your application to Penn State. Once that email is received, please access and complete your NSO Tasklist in a timely manner.
• You will use your Penn State Account User ID (followed by @psu.edu) and password (e.g., abc5123@psu.edu) to access this tasklist.
• You will use your NSO Tasklist to make a reservation to participate in an NSO program.
• Your tasklist is personalized to you and will walk you through each step of your orientation. Please pay attention to all posted due dates as they are unique to you, your Penn State campus, and when you will attend NSO.
