New Student Orientation is officially underway at Prairie View A&M University. Newly-admitted PVAMU students officially begin their First Year Experience (FYE) today online due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

New Student Orientation (NSO) marks the beginning of a full summer of engagement opportunities happening online after the University decided to suspend face-to-face group orientation sessions.

The New Student Orientation for freshman and transfer students will occur in three phases:

Part I – the Virtual Module: Beginning May 21 – students register and use an online module to learn the technical side of being a PVAMU student.

Part II – Prepping for “The Hill”: Starting May 25 – students spend the summer bonding and building a virtual community based on their majors and personal interests.

Part III - Panther Camp: An immersion into the traditions and culture of the PVAMU community.
