Congratulations on your acceptance to UNC Pembroke! We're thrilled to welcome you to BraveNation and invite you to New Student Orientation (NSO), a 51³Ô¹ÏÍø orientation program designed to kick off your Brave Experience with everything you need.
NSO is more than an event — it's your gateway to campus life, academic resources and endless opportunities to connect with others and make lasting memories. Once you register for NSO, you'll be pre-registered for the courses most essential to your major.

Note: All orientation reservations are under the student’s name and Banner ID number.
