Welcome to New Student Orientation (NSO)

​​​About NSO

Beginning your academic journey at Rowan College of South Jersey’s Gloucester Campus will be one of the most exciting times of your life. The New Student Orientation (NSO) serves as the first step in preparing you for this exciting opportunity at RCSJ. The purpose of the NSO is simple: to help you efficiently transition into college and empower you with the tools necessary to become academically successful. At the conclusion of the NSO, all students should meet with an advisor to begin selecting courses for the upcoming semester.
