Step 5: Pre-Advising (optional for Freshmen)

Some areas of study may offer pre-advising before NSO. If your advisor reaches out, you are encouraged to respond and complete advising in advance. If not, don't worry! You will have time to be advised during your in-person NSO session. Freshmen must attend in-person NSO even if pre-advised.

Step 6: Attend NSO in Person

Your in-person New Student Orientation is a crucial step in your transition to the University of Memphis. NSO is mandatory for all incoming Freshmen.
