Welcome New Transfer Students
The New Student Experience is designed to help transfer students learn about the university and connect with other students. We hope that your transfer student experience is positive, and exciting, and allows you to thrive within your new campus community.
As you prepare for NSE, we encourage you to review different sections on this site for more information on Placement Testing, resources for Parents and Families, Requesting Accommodations, and Frequently Asked Questions.
Ready to get started?
