New Undergraduate Student Orientation
We've designed New Student Orientation (NSO) to help you make a smooth transition into college life and to UArts in particular. NSO will be a fun-filled and enlightening time for you and your fellow incoming students. At NSO, you'll learn practical skills for being a successful college student-artist, experience first hand Philadelphia sights and sounds, and get to know your new classmates and faculty.
New Student Orientation will begin with your arrival on campus on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at Hamilton Hall (320 South Broad Street, at the corner of South Broad and Pine Streets) and conclude at the end of Tuesday, August 31; classes begin on Thursday, September 2, 2010.
The UArts NSO experience is particularly smooth for students thanks to the wisdom and enthusiasm of our student staff. The Orientation Leaders (OLs) are a group of our best and brightest upperclassmen who work around the clock to make the NSO experience stress-free, fun and full of useful insider information from the point-of-view of UArts students.
If you have questions regarding New Student Orientation, please call the Office of Student Development & Activities at 215-717-6615. We look forward to your arrival in August!
