Welcome Transfer Students!
Transfer Orientation is required for new transfer students. Check back soon for information on Fall 2026 Orientation.
During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of sessions based on your interests. You will also connect with your peers and learn about valuable resources and involvement opportunities on campus.
Family Members and supporters are welcome to join us for a separate but concurrent Orientation program.
Registration for Orientation is available through your Application Portal. Orientation registration is open to all students who have submitted an enrollment deposit and completed all immunization and health requirements.
Registering for Classes
After you submit your enrollment deposit and complete all immunization and health requirements, an academic advisor will contact you to schedule an advising appointment and assist you in registering for classes. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
