Summer/Fall 2026 LSUS New Student Orientation
Description
New Student Orientation sponsored by Campus Federal!
New Student Orientation (NSO) is available for all incoming freshmen and transfer students. First-time freshmen enrolling in the Summer or Fall 2026 semesters are required to attend before registering for classes. *If you are starting in the summer semester, you must attend the April NSO.
NSO requires a small registration fee of $20 per attendee, which can be paid using cash, check, or card at NSO check-in. Though attendance is mandatory for all first-time freshmen, it is strongly encouraged for transfer students. If these dates do not work with your schedule, please contact us and we will work around your schedule.
Parents and guests will not be allowed to attend NSO sessions with incoming students.
