A New Student Orientation (NSO) is held just prior to the beginning of each fall and spring semester to help every student get quickly acclimated to the MC environment. Whether you are a returning adult, full or part-time student, participating in NSO is highly recommended! Parent or family members are welcome. Formats and schedules are different at Germantown (G), Rockville (R) and Takoma Park (TP) campuses. We look forward to seeing you!

At the Rockville Campus you may select from a broad range of “getting connected” activities and presentations such as: the NSO Fair; Workshops on faculty expectations; Parental involvement; Financial planning; Academic advising; Career services and more. Plan to check-out student-faculty panel discussions; hear a welcome from the Dean of Students or college history and updates from the campus Vice-President/Provost. While you’re on campus take a moment to meet and greet at the refreshment stations. Raffles, limited campus tours are provided on a first come first served bases and department “Open Houses,” are available.
