New Student Experience

Congratulations! Welcome to the University of New Orleans!

Our New Student Experience is designed to welcome new Privateers and their families to the University of New Orleans! Through each step of the process, students will be prepared to succeed at UNO while discovering how to live and learn in community and families will learn information and services to best support their students.

See below for our 3-step process to get started on your journey as a new Privateer!

*Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and in accordance with the guidelines set by the state of Louisiana, and city of New Orleans, we will be consistently making changes to our New Student Experience format.

Step 1: Get Advised and Registered

Meeting with your Academic Advisor and getting enrolled in your courses is an important first step to becoming a Privateer! After this meeting you will attend a virtual orientation session with our new student experience team. Getting advised is required for all incoming first time, full time freshmen and new transfer students with less than 60 credit hours and/or under the age of 25.
