We strongly encourage you to attend an NSO session as early as possible. Class availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, so there are definite advantages to attending an early session.

At Texas State, we are excited to welcome over 9,000 new Bobcats each year at New Student Orientation (NSO). We strongly encourage you to attend an NSO session as early as possible. Class availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, so there are definite advantages to attending an early session. |

Orientation fees are split into 2 parts, $65 at the time of sign-up and $30 on the student's tuition bill. Students attending a 1-day program can expect a charge of $30 at the time of sign-up and $30 added to the student's tuition bill.
*Please note that the 1-day program is created and designed for the specific needs of commuter students.
If you have already filed your FAFSA, you may be eligible for a fee waiver for your NSO sign-up fee. Students that are deemed full-Pell Grant eligible can have their NSO sign-up fees waived automatically during sign-up.
