Orientation

We want students to start their college career prepared for not only their first year at NMU, but for years to come. Throughout the summer, we are hosting a number of virtual Orientation programs for our students. The program emphasizes integrating new students into the academic and co-curricular life of the institution, and connecting students with the campus community.

General Information

The New Student Orientation Program will be implemented virtually for all Summer 2020 sessions. Check out the links below for more information, or to register for your own orientation session.
