Transfers

Your New Home

The staff of the Orientation Office understands that your needs, as a transfer student, are unique. You are already familiar with a college or university environment and your concerns and questions are different from those of first year students. The most valuable services we can give you right now are time, resources and information. Therefore, the Orientation Office has designed a program that allows you to set your own pace while providing the time needed to become acquainted with the specifics of Washington University.

Orientation is a time to connect to the university and meet the administrators, faculty, staff and current students who will begin to shape your Washington University experience.

Here are some pointers on making your transition to Washington University as seamlessly and as useful as possible:

• Be sure to check this website often as the information will be updated periodically throughout the summer with links to campus resources, information for parents, the orientation schedule and more!
• The transfer student schedule highlights the orientation activities that are specifically designed to meet the needs of our transfer students. You are expected to attend the events marked specifically for transfer students.
• As a transfer student, you are welcome and encouraged to attend all Orientation events for new students. It is through these events that you will have the best opportunity to meet other transfer students, faculty, staff, and members of the first-year class.
• Each school has different requirements for admission of transfer students and transfer of credits. Please contact the school to which you have been admitted if you have specific questions about your transfer process.

Attention: The complimentary transportation from the airport that was previously offered by the Congress of the South Forty (CS40) will no longer be available.  Please plan on making alternate arrangements to get from Lambert Airport to campus on August 21.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Pre-Orientation program shuttle from the airport on August 17 WILL still be operating.
