For Transfer Students

All new Saint Mary's students are required to attend a New Student Orientation session before beginning their first semester of courses. New Student Orientation is intended to ease the transition from your previous institution into the Saint Mary's community.

Transfer Student Orientation, Summer 2013

Transfer students have a program tailored specifically for them. During sessions you will cover your degree audit, create an academic plan, and have your questions answered. Faculty, staff and current transfer students will be available to share opportunities for involvement as a continuing student at Saint Mary’s. Please note that you only need to attend ONE of the sessions.

Transfer Session Dates:

Session I: Wednesday, August 14, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Session II: Thursday, August 15, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

Session III: Friday, August 16, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Session IV: Friday, August 30, 2:00 p.m.-6:15 p.m. **

**There is no parent program for this session. Parents, family members and guests are welcome to attend the Parent Program during Orientation on Wednesday, August 28th. Please contact New Student & Family Programs to register.

Cost

All students are charged a one-time $250 Orientation fee applied directly to their student account. The fee covers all costs associated with Orientation, administrative needs, materials, food, and staffing.

Parent and Family Program

The continued involvement of parent and family members is crucial to the success of college students. Each new student is encouraged to bring up to two family members to participate in the orientation’s Parent and Family Program, which will allow families to learn about the various resources available in the campus community, meet College staff, and connect with parents of other new students. Family members should attend the same New Student Orientation session as their student.
