JHS Seniors going to OU upon Graduation It's time for your admitted students to schedule their New Sooner Orientation Days! New Sooner Orientation (NSO) is a required part of every first-year student’s successful transition to OU. At NSO, each student will work with an academic advisor to complete their fall course schedule. Prior to NSO, students will be pre-enrolled in 2 to 3 courses based on their prior academic course work, assessments (if required), and dean/faculty input. Options for NSO are provided both in-person and virtually in June and July 2025. Parents/supporters are encouraged to attend. Before a student can schedule their New Sooner Orientation Day, the following items must be completed: Set up OU account and email at one.ou.edu/activate Submit the enrollment deposit If available, submit official ACT or SAT score directly to OU In order for students to be placed into the right classes at OU during NSO, students MUST send official ACT or SAT test scores directly to OU. Without sending official test scores for verification, students will be required to complete all three course placement assessments, including math, reading, and English. However, once we have official scores, depending on the score, students may be excused from these assessments. The deadline to schedule a NSO Day is June 15, 2025. https://ou.edu/newsooner
