New Student Institute
Counting down until you arrive at SNU!
Welcome to SNU!
What to Expect at NSI
All new students (freshmen and transfers) participate in New Student Institute at Southern Nazarene University! Because this is a significant transition and deserves to be celebrated by all, families are invited to participate for the first two days as well. Be prepared for fun, informative, and meaningful events for students and their families. New Student Institute will help you feel at home, get connected with other students, settle in, and get ready for your first year at SNU!
*Family includes parents, siblings, and any other guests attending New Student Institute events to support their SNU student. NSI is optional for family.
New Student Institute and Housing Check-In
We want to celebrate this significant transition in your student's life with a four-day event prior to the first day of the semester. Families are invited to participate all day Saturday and in Sunday morning activities, and then students finish NSI Sunday afternoon through Tuesday. The dates for this year's NSI are:
Students and Parents: Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17
Students Only: Monday, August 18 and Tuesday, August 19
