Undergraduate New Student Orientation Information for

Round Rock Higher Education Center Students 

We are pleased you are planning to complete your coursework at Texas State’s Round Rock Higher Education Center (RRHEC). The Texas State advisors at the RRHEC pre-screen all newly admitted undergraduate students to determine eligibility to register for the upper-level courses here. 

Students accepted to Texas State who have already earned a Bachelor’s degree are not required to attend NSO. (Click Graduate NSO if you desire further information on the orientation process and attendance.)

New Student Orientation will be held at the RRHEC:

• The New Student Orientation process has begun. Follow instructions below to see if you are eligible.
  

Undergraduate Transfer Students:

To be eligible to attend a New Student Orientation (NSO) session at Round Rock you must be accepted to Texas State University-San Marcos for a future 2010 semester. You must have also recently met with an advisor to receive approval to attend NSO. 

Verify acceptance for Spring 2010:

You must be accepted to Texas State for one of the above listed semesters in order to be considered for NSO. Log in here to check your admissions status to verify your admissions file is complete and has been processed. If your file is incomplete, please complete your file and continue to monitor online. As soon as your status indicates you are accepted, please return here to determine if an advising appointment is required. 

Meet with an advisor and receive approval to attend NSO:

The advisors at the RRHEC will review how your transfer courses may be utilized toward your degree plan and determine what prerequisites you may be lacking. The advisor will then either register you to attend NSO or defer your admissions file to a future semester so you do not need to reapply or pay another application fee.

Never met with a Texas State Advisor, need to schedule appointment:

All newly accepted Texas State Students intending to pursue their degree primarily at the RRHEC, are required to meet with an Academic Advisor at the RRHEC BEFORE being eligible to take classes at the RRHEC. All students wishing to meet with a Texas State advisor are strongly encouraged to make an appointment.

If you recently met with the advisor and do not believe you need a follow-up advising appointment, then please make a request to review your eligibility to attend NSO by clicking on the “Request NSO Eligibility” button below. Once the advisor receives this request, your advising file will be reviewed. The advisor will either confirm your eligibility or recommend a follow up advising appointment.
