New Student Orientation (NSO)
Students starting in the spring are encouraged to participate in New Student Orientation on January 8, 2024. This event is for all incoming traditional students, including commuters and transfers under 25.
Residence halls will open at noon on Saturday, January 6, 2024.
Because we value our new Pioneers and want to do all we can to help you connect with the MNU experience, we do require all incoming first-time freshmen students to participate in NSO. You will gain a better understanding of what MNU and the surrounding Olathe community has to offer and make new friends, too. NSO is designed to “orient” you to the MNU experience – you don’t want to miss it!
