You can sign up for NSO sessions and events on the NSO portal within your My Blue Hen Home. The NSO portal is now open!

The live NSO programs, offered virtually, will take place Friday, January 27, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.  Visit your NSO portal on your My Blue Hen Home or the Orientation page for more details.

While we encourage families to attend the live NSO program, it is completely optional. As part of the live NSO program, families will attend overview sessions about academics, health and wellbeing, student life, and university resources. Please note that families will attend sessions separately from their students for the majority of the live orientation program.

Families will also have access to orientation content through the Blue Hen Family Hub, and they can choose to attend various virtual topical information sessions about housing, dining, student financial services, and more. Families of students starting at UD in spring 2023 will receive an invitation to join the Blue Hen Family Hub in mid-January 2023.

New students will access the online orientation course by logging into Canvas at https://sites.udel.edu/canvas/ with their UD credentials. Students should complete all sections, or modules, to make the most of their NSO experience.
