Virtual NSO
Virtual NSO students will be sent a Zoom link to connect to a session with their advisor the day before their NSO session. A separate Zoom link will be sent for RAP course registration to meet with RAP Program Coordinators to select a RAP class. Upon connecting via Zoom, you will join a waiting room, and the host will let you join the meeting once they are free to meet with you. You may need to wait approximately 15 minutes before being connected to the Program Coordinator if the sessions are busy, or there may be no waiting period before being connected. Please contact Carmen Jura at carmenj@colorado.edu if there are any issues connecting to a Program Coordinator for RAP course registration during a virtual NSO.
