New Student Orientation (NSO) includes a variety of programs and events that will set students on the path toward academic and personal success at Saint Leo University. This multi-day, virtual experience acquaints students with our campus, support services, policies, staff and faculty, and is the beginning of their friendships with other new and returning students.
Through programs offered, students and their families will be informed about the opportunities and responsibilities in and outside of the classroom. By exposing students to the key services and opportunities available to them, we hope to empower students to make well-informed decisions. NSO is mandatory for all first-year and transfer students attending University Campus.
Take a moment to review our helpful New Student Checklist to familiarize yourself with the various documents and tasks you will need to complete prior to your arrival here on campus for the semester.
