All transfer students at the University at Albany must meet with their academic advisor before registering for classes.

The Conference date is Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Students admitted for the summer/fall 2008 will receive invitations to the May conference beginning approximately April. Academic advisement appointments are limited that day so students will be assigned to this date on a 1st come basis. There will be a Parent Orientation session for those who accompany students to the Conference. This is separate from the concurrent student program. Tours will be available for all who wish to participate.

Due to the student's schedule, it is not likely that there will be significant interaction between family members and students until you are ready to depart from campus.

Students who do not attend this session will select from the dates listed below.

• Send your $150 Admissions Deposit to the Student Accounts Office by the May 1 deadline.
• UAlbany mails you a "Welcome Packet" that contains, among other things, an Orientation reservation packet. (Students who pay their Deposit after May 1 will receive this information on a rolling basis.)
• Select 3 dates you are able to come to a Transfer Planning Conference. Rank order your preferences.
• Return your Reservation Card and $80 Conference fee*. Subsequently, you will receive a confirmation of the date to which you are assigned, along with material you must act on before you arrive.

Note:  This tentative schedule does not yet reflect evaluative comments from parents in attendance last year and so minor changes may not yet be reflected.
