Transfer Students

Hello NEW MATADORS!

The New Student Orientation (NSO) experience for all new Transfer Students will occur over the summer leading up till the Fall semester. 

NSO ONLINE- A set of comprehensive modules that address university programs, services, and resources available in a virtual and eventual on-campus capacity. You will be able to complete NSO Online at your own pace throughout the summer. All new domestic Transfer Students can partake in the NSO Online experience.

ON CAMPUS TRANSFER ORIENTATION (NSO) - Is an optional in-person opportunity to engage with your new campus! NSO Leaders will be facilitating small groups on a wide set of topics including Student Involvement and Belonging, Academic Success, and Information Technology. This experience can assist in answering lingering questions and offer a more individualized opportunity to connect with other CSUN students.  

In keeping with the goal of New Student Orientation, we have designed this program to meet the needs of incoming transfer students through the following:

• Showcasing a welcoming environment that builds a sense of community
• Providing an opportunity to gain knowledge and information on campus resources and services
• Offering a framework that will allow students to make informed and appropriate academic plans and social choices
• Encouraging connections among current and new students, faculty, and staff
• Building awareness of campus locations/geography
• Enhancing understanding of strategies for success
