New Student Orientation
Welcome, Future Zips! We look forward to meeting you in person when it’s safe to do so.
The Office of New Student Orientation will be open Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm to assist new students/families with orientation and preparing for fall. NSO will continue to hold virtual office hours for those students/families who wish to access services remotely. Students/parents who have questions about their orientation, advising, or the upcoming semester are encouraged to contact the Office of New Student Orientation by emailing nso@uakron.edu or calling 330-972-2622.
We will send information by email soon about your online orientation and advising program. And when it is deemed safe for us all to be on campus, we will host an in-person event to help you get familiar with campus. We look forward to that day!
