Welcome New Freshmen
As new freshmen, there are many things to do to prepare for classes, and our New Student Experience is designed to set you up for success. As you prepare for NSE, we encourage you to review different sections on this site for more information on Placement Testing, resources for Parents and Families, Requesting Accommodations, and Frequently Asked Questions.
Ready to get started?
- Log into your PASS account and complete your Intent to Enroll form.
- Begin your New Student Experience by selecting “New Student Experience” in the left-hand menu of your PASS account. The date you will select is the date of your on-campus orientation experience. Check out this Step by Step Guide for more detailed information.
