New student orientation is designed to introduce new NUNM students to the academic, co-curricular, and student services and programs vital to their successful transition to the NUNM community. By exposing students to the key services and opportunities available to them, we hope to enable students to make well-informed choices and decisions. In collaboration with campus offices, the orientation program aims to provide a structured and holistic introduction to the university environment for students. Through programs offered, new students will be informed about educational opportunities and responsibilities in and outside of the classroom.
All incoming students are required to attend one full day new student orientation session during the summer and the academic program orientation. To find the available dates of the mandatory one-day new student orientation and academic program orientation please visit the NUNM Academic Calendar.
During orientation, students will hear from various departments and staff members including: Financial Aid, the Registrar’s Office, Business Office, Office of Student Life, and the program deans. Information regarding Honor Council, Title IX, academic accommodations and much more will be discussed to help familiarize the incoming class to the policies and procedures at NUNM.
The primary goals of new student orientation are to:
- aid new students in making the transition from their previous environment to National University of Natural Medicine (learn)

Tuberculosis Surveillance
NUNM applies this testing policy to students, employees, and volunteers, as the risk of working in a medical setting maybe high. New students, and students returning from over one year of leave, must be tested with the Quantiferon Gold TB blood test, which is to be completed during New Student Orientation and before matriculation in classes. The required test can also be obtained at various labs, and for a reduced rate at the NUNM Clinic lab. Please contact NUNM TB Coordinator for forms and information. NUNM TB Testing Screening FAQs
