What is Orientation and Wolves Welcome Week?
The orientation staff at NSU knows that your transition to college at Northern can be stressful and nerving. That is why we are here to help! It is very normal to have literally hundreds of questions about attending school at NSU. How do I get a work study job? Where is my Biology class? Where do I pay for my tuition and fees? How do I check my campus mailbox? All these questions and many more will be answered through attending Orientation.
Orientation is for everyone and it is important that everyone attends! Whether you grew up in the Aberdeen area, if you are transferring to another school, coming back to school after a few years off, or if you recently graduated from high school, our program has things for everyone with all sorts of questions and situations. Check the schedule link on the left for more details. Click here to register for orientation:
Wolves Welcome Week is orientation....This is where we get crazy and break out of our shell! College is a new experience for many of the 500 plus new students that will be starting this fall at NSU, so we are all in the same boat. The activities offered throughout the week will allow you to meet many new people from a variety of backgrounds. Prizes will be offered, so don't miss out on your big chance!

Be careful not to
over-pack because space is also something you will need (especially if
you share that space with someone else). You can always pick-up extras
around campus if you need something else. You can also ship stuff if you
want to bring seasonal items (such as cross country skis or heavier
winter gear) later on in the semester. |
