Effective March 17th, the Office of New Student Orientation will be working remotely to continue serving new students planning to become a future zip. Students and families can reach a member from the NSO team at nso@uakron.edu during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The office will continue to communicate with new students about their assigned orientation date, assist with requests to change their orientation date if their assigned date doesn’t fit their schedule, and help process major change requests.
