New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation

Welcome to UNM-Los Alamos!

We are thrilled to welcome you to our campus as a new student.

New Student Orientation (NSO)

Student success at UNM-LA begins with our New Student Orientation sessions, designed to answer all the typical questions new students have about our campus. All students are required to attend a New Student Orientation session, either live or online. The orientation information will provide you with all the need-to-know essentials to help you be successful and to navigate our campus online and in person. In order to have your orientation hold lifted, you must either attend an in-person session or complete the online orientation and receive a certificate of completion.

Your success on our campus is important to us. We look forward to meeting you in person and traveling with you on your educational journey.


New Student Orientation Online is now available!

NSO Online is a resource hub for students, parents, and families, offering student support, online workshops, and more.
