New Student Experience

Our New Student Experience is designed to welcome new Privateers 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. See below for our 3-step process to get started on your journey as a new Privateer!

STEP 1 Zoom or In-person Registration Days

These one-day programs provide you an opportunity to meet your advisor, register for classes, and help you become familiar with our campus and Privateer community. These days are required for all incoming first-time, full-time, first-year students and transfers with fewer than 60 credits and/or under the age of 25. For more information please visit: uno.edu/nse/step1.

STEP 2 Complete Our Online Orientation Module

STEP 3 Fall MAMBO

This multi-day orientation will immerse you in the Privateer experience and prepare you for your first semester at UNO. ALL incoming first-time, full-time, first-year students

who are enrolled in UNIV 1001, CHEM 1000, or ENGR 1000 are required to attend ALL of

MAMBO. Each day you will meet with your class to discuss topics around your transition to the University and attend activities to help you connect to fellow Privateers. Transfers are welcome to attend our Transfer Track. For more information please visit: nse.uno.edu.
