Welcome, Future Privateer!
Welcome to the University of New Orleans! Whether you have been admitted or are looking ahead to prepare for your transition. Orientation & Transition Programs are here to help!
Have you been admitted? Congratulations!
Congratulations on being admitted to the University of New Orleans! To get started, you will need to complete the Accepted Student Checklist and participate in New Student Experience. Doing this will help ensure you have a smooth transition to UNO!
The Accepted Student Check-List are steps each student needs to take to prepare for their first semester. Some of these include setting up username & password, submitting forms, and more.
New Student Experience is a three-step orientation program for admitted students. NSE helps you register for classes, learn about UNO, and acclimate to campus!
First-Year Course Placement:
All freshmen students admitted with a high school cumulative GPA below 3.0 without test scores will need to submit a test score or take an Accuplacer test BEFORE the registration day (check your admit letter or online admissions portal for clarification). Please read the policy fully here* for important instructions to complete before meeting with your Advisor.
