New Sooner Orientation (NSO) is a key part of every freshman student's successful transition to OU. Parents and families are invited to attend New Sooner Orientation with their freshman! This is when incoming freshmen will meet with an academic advisor and enroll in their first semester of courses at OU. Transfer students are advised through their individual college by making an appointment.
