Attending NSO provides an opportunity to learn more about the many resources and individuals available to support your academic pursuits, hear about College policies and procedures, and have many of your questions answered.

Students will leave NSO with a schedule and will be ready to start classes.

Students beginning clinicals will receive an additional mailing from their department regarding program orientation, uniforms, health records and additional assessments.
