2025 Student Tentative Orientation Schedule

Some New Student Orientation (NSO) sessions will be presented in an online, virtual format throughout the summer and leading up to our on-campus Orientation. Students will receive more information regarding the sessions to their HMC email in June with sessions beginning in July. These sessions will include presentations and interaction from Mudd’s faculty, staff, and student leaders.

We will have a combined in person NSO for all incoming students.

  • First-year and transfer student move-in will be on Aug. 21.
  • New Student Orientation (NSO) will take place Aug. 21–24.
  • Course registration for new students will take place Friday, Aug. 22.
