Transfer Student Orientation Modules

As part of your onboarding experience, incoming transfer students will view a suite of videos that provide information about registration, academic tools, and student resources. Completion credit will be given, and students may work at their own pace. The Transfer Student Orientation modules should be completed prior to course registration so you are fully prepared to enroll and understand the next steps you must take prior to arrival on campus.
