American International University Kuwait invites all new students to join the New Student Orientation (NSO) for Fall 2025, set for September 2, 3, and 7. NSO is more than just a welcome event—it's a transformative experience designed to introduce students to university life, build connections, and ensure that everyone begins their academic journey with confidence. Whether you are fresh out of high school or transferring from another institution, NSO will provide all the tools and guidance needed to succeed at AIU.  

Welcome to NSO 

The transition to university can be challenging, but at AIU, students are supported every step of the way. NSO begins with a warm welcome, giving students the opportunity to receive their official AIU student ID, which is essential for accessing campus facilities, events, and resources. Guided campus tours allow newcomers to explore lecture halls, the Shaw Library, student lounges, and recreational spaces, making it easier to navigate the university environment. Each session is crafted to help new students find their place in the AIU community. 

Meet Your Support Network 

One of the highlights of NSO is the Informational Resources Fair, where students can interact directly with representatives from academic, administrative, and student services departments. The Academic Advising team is available to assist with course planning, credit transfers, and program requirements, ensuring every student starts on the right academic path. Student Engagement counselors share information about campus clubs, leadership opportunities, and upcoming events, building a sense of community and belonging. For questions about registration or enrollment, staff from the Registration office are on hand with helpful advice and support.

Access Essential Campus Services 

AIU provides a comprehensive network of resources to support student success and well-being. The Shaw Library team offers assistance with research projects, access to online databases, and information about study spaces. For health needs, the campus clinic delivers quality care and guidance on maintaining wellness throughout the academic year. IT Help staff are also available to solve technical problems and provide support for digital learning platforms. Security personnel ensure that the campus remains a safe and secure space for all, with information about emergency protocols and personal safety measures readily accessible.
