New Student Orientation
Improving Advisor Access to Information
Project Scope:
Review the current pre-NSO Advising Activity; explore and test alternative methodologies,
with a focus on improving advisor access to the information in order to improve the
advising experience for the student. In addition, the team will determine whether
other information might assist the orientation or student affairs areas as they work
to continuously improve service to our students
Currently Students complete an advising activity (via a google doc) prior to attending New Student Orientation (NSO). The Pre-NSO Activity gives new students the opportunity to explore majors, consider courses, learn about first-year programs, and thus to be more knowledgeable prior to attending orientation
