What is New Student Orientation (NSO)?

New Student Orientation (NSO) is a crucial, mandatory step in getting started at Broward College. It is required for all first-time-in-college, degree-seeking students who are new to Broward College. Students will receive communication via their personal email and text messages regarding next steps from their Student Success Coach.

At the New Student Orientation session, you will:

  • register for classes

  • schedule your first advising appointment

  • create your FSA ID

  • learn about the different degree programs

  • learn how to access your remote classes

  • learn about student support resources

If you are a non-native English-speaking student that must demonstrate English Proficiency, you must attend an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Orientation.  For information on how to determine English proficiency, please click here.
