Welcome to the start of your Hoosier Experience

It's almost time for your New Student Orientation (NSO) program. Attending orientation virtually allows you flexibility in creating a schedule that works for you, and we want to be sure you get the most out of this part of your experience until you can be here in person.

Navigating the Schedule

You have already chosen your Academic Advising appointment, your student group meeting time, and your Foundations of New Student Orientation time. All are pre-set and required. It's time to put the final touches on your personal orientation schedule.

Be sure to read through the list of live sessions listed in the schedule below—all times are in the Eastern Time Zone. It is expected that you will attend other sessions, but you are welcome to build your own personalized schedule around your week.

All sessions are live and will be recorded so you can return to them in the future if needed. Captions will be added to the recordings. Many sessions are offered multiple times, to allow you to create a schedule that works for you.

Also:

  • Complete your required NSO Canvas modules and any required placement exams prior to your academic advising appointment.
  • Start building connections in the Hoosier Network by joining through the email invitation you received. If you've already joined, just sign in using your existing account.
  • Watch your IU email—we will send you information about events in the fall to help you fill out the rest of your orientation, and connect with other new students.
  • Your parents and supporters are welcome to attend all sessions with you or on their own, except your academic advising appointment and student group time.

How to Participate

We will use Zoom for our event. We recommend installing or updating Zoom Meeting Client at least 10 minutes prior to our opening session.

After you have installed Zoom, you can attend a session by clicking the plus sign to the right of the session title. In the drop-down description, click the “Join Session” button. All sessions are on Eastern Time. Continue scrolling to learn more about the sessions available each day.
