If you absolutely cannot attend the NSO date for your last name, you can attend the other date. There is no need to let LASA know. Just please try to attend the date assigned to you!
We deeply recommend that incoming students attend New Student Orientation. If you absolutely cannot attend either date, there is no way to make this up in advance or after the fact. But, you will be able to get your student ID, textbooks etc. during the first week of school.
