Your NSO Experience
Here’s what to expect from NSO.
Online Modules
Mandatory for students. Optional for guests.
All first-time freshmen are required to complete the NSO modules.
Log in at nso.wvu.edu with your WVU Login to access the modules. You must complete them by June 10.
Guests may view the modules by using the guest login option.
You’re required to finish the modules before you can meet with your adviser and get your class schedule set. After you finish the modules, you’ll get an email within a few days describing your next steps (check spam too, just in case).
Submit a Student ID Photo
Mandatory for students.
Say cheese and show us your best smile! After registering for NSO, review WVU ID photo submission details and submit your photo as soon as possible.
Virtual Advising Appointment
Mandatory for students.
Appointments begin June 1. Students will not be able to meet with an adviser without first completing the online modules.
During your virtual advising appointment, you’ll meet 1-on-1 with a professional adviser and finalize your first semester class schedule. Before the meeting, you should review your college or school’s NSO information in the modules. Honors students should also review the Honors NSO page.
In-Person, On-Campus Program
Mandatory for all students and highly recommended for guests.
Your in-person NSO program is your official introduction to campus. You’ll get answers to your questions, explore campus, and learn about student life from those who’re already living it.
In-person NSO dates are:
- June 1, 2, 5
- June 8 (Honors), 9, 12
- June 15, 16, 18, 19 (Honors)
- June 22, 23, 25 (Honors), 26
- July 6, 7, 9, 10
