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. Fall 2023 NSO will take place on Friday, August 18 to Tuesday, August 22.
Pre-Orientation Programs
Applications for Fall 2023 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.
