Transfer Orientation

Check in, chat with some peer leaders, and enjoy a continental breakfast before the welcome session. Be sure to register for this program at least a week in advance so that you can easily check in for the program. 

The program begins with an official welcome from the New Student Orientation team. This session will help you understand the program schedule format and available services for the day.

Representatives from Admissions, Registrar, Office of Academic Advising, and Placement Testing, fellow students, and transfer student alumni will discuss their recommendations for a smooth transition process and then will answer any general questions that you might have.
