First-Year and Transfer Students: Register for NSO!

New Student Orientation, or NSO, takes place in the days leading up to the first day of the semester, and it is structured to orient you to resources, academics, and the Georgetown community. Spring 2025 NSO will take place on Monday, January 6th and Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.
Pre-Orientation Programs
Applications for Fall 2024 Pre-Orientation Programs are now closed.
Pre-Orientation Programs at Georgetown University offer new first-year and transfer students a chance to connect with peers, faculty, and staff around a specialized topic before their first semester at Georgetown. Pre-Orientation participants are immersed in a smaller community even before New Student Orientation begins.
