📨 You should've already received your welcome email from Undergraduate Admissions. If you haven't, stop! You'll need to find and review that email first, as it introduces you to the crucial next steps in your transition process. It also includes other important information, like your American University ID number (AUID), located at the bottom of that email.

📍 Now that you accepted your offer and made your deposit, you're on your way to becoming an official AU Eagle! Perhaps the next most important step is participating in New Student Orientation, or NSO.

NSO is a required step in your transition process that all new students (first-year and transfer students) must fully participate in. Through NSO, you will meet and interact with other new students, meet some of our Orientation Leaders, and learn about important and valuable campus services, resources, and expectations of you as a student.

This year, NSO will take place from Thursday, January 9 through Saturday, January 11. Thursday and Friday are full of important, required opportunities to learn about what it means to be a student at AU, while Saturday's programs are optional–but encouraged!

More information will be coming to you over the course of the next few weeks, including how to register for NSO.

💻 Maybe the best way to prepare for the start of your time here at AU is to join us for our New Eagle Essentials webinar. During this webinar, we bring together campus resources and engagement opportunities to help you learn about what life might be like for your as a new AU student.

Join us on Friday, December 6 at 12 p.m. EST to learn about the opportunities awaiting you. For more information, including a schedule and RSVP link, click the button below.

👋 We'll be back in your inbox next week with some tips, tricks, and more things to look out for. If you have any questions in the meantime, don't forget that you can always reach out to New Student & Family Programs. We're here to help you!
