New Student Programs helps connect students and their supporters to the university and community.
New Student Programs facilitates the integrations of students and their supporters into the campus and greater community through intellectual, cultural, and social programs. Students can focus on enhancing their Saluki experience and are given the tools to begin their journey.
New Student Orientation (NSO), a one-day on-campus program with registration open every year in early Spring. New students who plan to attend SIU are required to participate in one of these on-campus experiences. Families and supporters are also encouraged to join. You will meet other new Salukis, connect with important resources, and learn all about SIU. Families and supporters will have the opportunity to network with other families and learn about the transition to college. If you haven't already register for classes, you will need to contact your advisor prior to this one-day event.
Saluki Start Up events are for new first year students! All are encouraged to attend orientation-style activities after moving into the residence halls prior to the first day of the semester.
Weeks of Welcome (WOW) offers all new and returning students programs and events that allow them to connect with peers, faculty, staff, campus departments and community organizations.
