What is New Student Orientation? Do I have to attend?
New Student Orientation (NSO) is required for all incoming students. NSO is an introduction to life as a Lee University student. During NSO, you will have the opportunity to move into your residence hall, check in with the Orientation team, finalize your registration, confirm enrollment, and learn about all of the resources and opportunities Lee has to offer new students. NSO is a great opportunity to meet new and returning students, faculty, staff, and student leaders. Make plans to join us starting Saturday, August 16.
Do I need to register for New Student Orientation?
No, there is no separate registration needed for NSO. After moving into your residence hall on Saturday, we will also have a booth to check you in for the weekend at the Science & Math Complex.
What if I have scheduling conflicts?
If it is not possible for you to attend New Student Orientation, please make sure to contact the Office of First Year Programs prior to NSO Weekend. You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by phone at (423) 614-8626.
Can I bring a guest to New Student Orientation?
Absolutely! We encourage students to bring family members with them to assist with such a significant transition.
Will I meet with an advisor and finalize my class schedule during New Student Orientation?
If you have not completed early class selection prior to NSO, you will be given an appointment card at NSO Check-In for a time to meet with an advisor and finalize your class schedule on Monday during the registration period. If you have a class schedule, but still need to confirm enrollment, you will be able to do so when you arrive.
There will be many opportunities for you to meet fellow students and get plugged in here at Lee. During your first week at Lee, you will have the opportunity to connect with dozens of Lee’s different clubs and organizations at Club Lee. Club Lee is a club and organization fair to meet and greet over 75 clubs that Lee has to offer. For more information about how to get involved, connect with your Peer or Transfer Leader or contact [email protected] if you have any additional questions about beginning your Lee journey.
We hope that you are as excited about your #LeeUArrival as we are!
