Schedule Key:

• (Required Session)*: participation in NSO is a requirement of matriculation to Colorado College. Sessions marked with an (Required Session)* make up the required program components. Upon completion of these sessions, all students will complete an attendance quiz or in-person attendance will be taken.
• All New Students: includes first-years, transfers, and exchange students. Unless otherwise indicated, all new students are expected to attend required sessions and require components. When programs or events are for specific sub-populations, that will be indicated in both the title of the event and the event description. 
  Optional: You have the option to participate in these sessions. All evening social events are optional. 

We are in the process of making changes to our orientation program and schedule format. 

In the meantime, here is a high level overview of the typical daily NSO schedule and tentative 2023 dates to give you an idea of what to expect.
