New Student Orientation (NSO) 2016 will be held from Tuesday, September 20 (Move-In Day), to Sunday, September 25, 2016, the day before Autumn Quarter classes begin. NSO is required for all new students and you are expected to participate fully in NSO activities, which will take place from morning to late evening each day. NSO is designed to provide you with an introduction to the wide array of academic, intellectual, leadership, cultural, and social experiences available to you at Stanford.
