The Orientation Program
New Student Orientation (NSO) | Warrior Freshmen Program - Fall 2008
Am I required to attend an orientation session?
UHM's orientation program is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. The orientation staff understands the needs of incoming students and has designed a program that offers essential information in a high energy, interactive format. At orientation, you will be engaged in learning and be provided with tools that will enable you to become active agents throughout your years in college. Just as important, orientation offers you the chance to learn your way around campus and to meet other students, staff, and faculty. Remember, you're only an incoming freshman once! Don't miss this opportunity to learn all you can before that important first day of classes.
What will orientation for freshmen be like?
Before you come to your session, you will be assigned to a small group of other new students and an NSO leader. Your leader will contact you to help you get started with our online tutorial. In this online tutorial, you will acquire some basic information that will be helpful when you arrive for the one-day program. If you will be attending the Aug 20 - 21 program, this online tutorial will be essential!
The orientation program provides a variety of learning experiences, much like what you'll experience as a college student at UHM. You will experience large lecture and small group discussions with staff and peers, and have many opportunities to ask questions. You'll be assigned to a group of 10 to 15 students guided by an NSO leader and have opportunities throughout the day to get to know other students.
Can I arrive late or leave early?
This is not recommended. We have designed the program to cover the essential information so that one session builds upon another. You won't want to miss important information.
