First - Year Orientation Dates (Summer 2025)

We are excited to welcome you as one of the newest members of our Pack! To help you get acquainted with UNM, all incoming students complete an orientation program that provides them with the opportunity to learn about campus resources, make connections with faculty and staff, and register for courses. In addition, each session has a 'Family Connection' component designed for Parents, Families, and Guests.

During Summer 2025, students will be able to participate in NSO... In-Person! or NSO... To-Go! Registration is on a first-come, first-served, basis so be sure to reserve your spot today! If a session is at capacity you can contact us to join a waitlist.
