NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION (NSO)

Saturday, August 21 - Saturday, August 28

Welcome new students of Hope International University’s Pacific Christian College! We are inviting you and your family to come and be a part of the Fall 2010 NSO experience. This is a great opportunity to get everyone prepared for this new and exciting adventure while getting plugged into the campus community. Come and experience what it means to be a part of the Hope family. It all begins 9 a.m. August 21, with Check-In Lawson-Fulton Student Center. We will see you there!

What NSO is all about?

NSO exists to help and support new students as they transition into the Hope community. A number of activities and seminars are planned to prepare new students for their experience at Hope by exposing them to educational opportunities, helping them develop quality relationships, and encouraging them to access campus resources. Orientation is also the time for new students to celebrate as they take this next step, receive instruction and guidance as they transition into the Hope community, including academic advisement in preparation for registration, and much more. NSO is a part of the department of Retention which strives to enhance student success, campus life, community development, and university-wide excellence.
