Transfer Orientation: Saturday, Aug. 21

Transfer Student Orientation is a half-day program for all students transferring into Stritch directly from another institution or returning to school after a prolonged absence. Transfer students have unique needs and come to college trying to balance multiple life roles, from families to full-time jobs.

We know that you’ve experienced college already and therefore your orientation needs are different from first-time college students. We have created a transfer orientation program that considers your needs and provides you with information that will set you up to be a successful Stritch student.

RSVP information for both freshman and transfer orientation programs will be available in July.
