Fall NSO 2012

After Summer NSO, Fall NSO is the next step on the pathway to a great UMass Experience. This exciting weekend takes place August 31-September 2.

At Fall NSO, the entire campus will be mobilizing to welcome you! Your Residence Life and Housing staff will teach you the ropes and rules of living in the halls. You'll meet your Resident Assistant, your neighbors, and get comfortable in your new home.

Next, at the New Students Convocation, we're going to celebrate you and your class! You'll hear key university leaders, a star upperclassman, and Ernest Cline, the author of this year's Common Read Ready Player One. We'll also teach you the university's cheers, fight song, and alma mater; important stuff!

Throughout Fall NSO staff from almost every university department will be available to help answer questions, and we've got programs, activities, panels, and involvement fairs scheduled for anything and everything you could possibly want to know about on campus. This entire program is developed to help you feel comfortable and ready to succeed in everyway you can at UMass Amherst.

Transfering to UMass this fall? We've got you covered with your very own TRANSFERmations program over Labor Day Weekend.


More Details Coming Soon!

Additional information about Fall NSO and the TRANSFERmations program will be posted as it becomes available. Plan to visit this page often for the latest updates.
