New Student Institute
Counting down the days until we see you at SNU!
August 15-19, 2026
What to Expect at NSI
All new students—freshmen and transfers—are invited to take part in New Student Institute at Southern Nazarene University! NSI marks the beginning of your college journey and is a moment worth celebrating, which is why families are invited to join their students for the first two days of activities. Students can expect a full 4 days of fun, informative, and meaningful experiences designed to help them feel at home, build connections, get involved, and confidently step into your first year at SNU!
*Family includes parents, siblings, and any other guests attending New Student Institute events to support their SNU student. Families are invited to join their students on August 15th & 16th!
