New Student Orientation (NSO) Activities

During the first week of September, BCA, the Student Union, and Residence Services organize fun and exciting activities for new students to BCA Residence. All activities are designed to help students learn more about their residence, their university, and one another. Throughout the week, various presentations on campus life and fun activities are offered to introduce students to BCA. NSO is a great way to meet other students and have a lot of fun while doing so! While everyone is encouraged to participate, all NSO events are strictly voluntary. Information on NSO can be obtained by emailing nso@. Information on events will also be provided at registration.
