New Student Orientation (NSO)

Start Your WT Journey with New Student Orientation (NSO)

Congratulations on joining West Texas A&M University! Our New Student Orientation is designed to welcome you into the Buff community and help you start strong. Discover campus life, connect with classmates, and access resources that support your college experience. From academic guidance to student life, orientation prepares you for success at WT. Get ready to build friendships, make memories, and take the first steps in your exciting WT journey!

NSO is also a great time to get questions answered and navigate the essentials of college life. You’ll learn about university resources, connect with other new students, and start discovering interests that will shape your WT experience. When you arrive on campus, you’ll be ready to explore new places, meet new friends, and make WT feel like home. All new freshmen will also complete a brief online pre-orientation module covering key policies.
