New Student Orientation

Get Ready to Be an Eagle!

New and Transfer Student Orientation is a series of events, activities, and opportunities developed to assist students and their families in transitioning to life at Heritage. During NSO, you will explore new ideas and concepts, learn how to get involved, and explore ways of engaging in your collegiate experience. You will learn important information about academic policies and get the tools you need to be prepared for your first day of courses. You may even discover a new passion! Above all we hope that you will have fun and make friends that last a lifetime.
