Congratulations, new Dragons!
Start your DigiPen journey with a triumphant roar by joining your new cohort at New Student Orientation (NSO)! All incoming undergraduate and graduate students are required to join us at DigiPen’s campus for an opportunity to meet faculty and current students, learn about campus resources included in your tuition, and receive useful tips that every new student should know.
For students beginning their DigiPen education in the Spring 2026 semester, please plan on joining us on campus by attending our mandatory NSO program on Sunday, January 4. If you need to make any final accommodations prior to the start of the semester, staff from various departments will be available to help meet those needs. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided!
CampusGroups serves as a hub for everything NSO, including detailed schedules, pre-orientation materials, and any updates or changes to various activities and sessions.
Attendance and Registration
Good news! All enrolled students starting in the Spring 2026 semester are required to attend NSO, so no registration is needed.
