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 Fall 2025 semester, please plan on joining us on campus by attending our mandatory week-long NSO program from August 25 to August 29. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided each day!
CampusGroups serves as a hub for everything NSO, including detailed schedules, pre-orientation materials, and any updates or changes to various activities and sessions. A link to CampusGroups will be shared on this page mid-July.
See our shortened schedule for a quick overview of each day’s topic and hours.
*Attendance on Friday, August 29 is not mandatory for all students. Attendance for this day is required for all international students, incoming graduate students, students receiving veterans benefits, and readmitted students who haven’t attended DigiPen since Spring 2024.
If you have any additional questions, please contact the Office of Student Engagement at studentaffairs@digipen.edu.
