New Student Registration, or NSR, is a mandatory program for new freshman. Transfer students may attend if they wish also but the Registrar’s Office will be taking individual appointments for new transfer students. NSR is an important day because not only will you register for your courses but you will gain access and learn how to use your BHSU email. You will have a chance to visit with Residence Life and see your hall if you are living on campus. Your roommate assignment will be ready if you haven’t already been notified of your new roommate. You can also turn in items such as your immunization records and complete any unfinished business such as financial aid. Students will also receive their Buzz Card, or student id, and learn about Green and Gold Days, the orientation at the beginning of the fall semester. You will be able to visit with advisors from each department, who will also help you register. Students who need to take a COMPASS exam will have the opportunity to do so the afternoon before each NSR day. You will be notified in your acceptance letter or NSR confirmation letter if you will need to take any COMPASS exams. You are also welcome to call the Office of Admissions at anytime to learn more about the COMPASS exams, if you will need to take any, and how to sign up for them.

Parents also have some special activities that day. While students are registering, parents will be able to attend some parent sessions that will include some important information.

Please contact the Office of Admissions with any questions or if you would like to reserve a space for NSR. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you on campus this summer!
