Winter 2008 Transfer Orientation Click Here WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER! All students attending the University of Denver must attend an orientation session. Fall Orientation begins Monday, September 3, 2007. On this page: Transfer Orientation information, Transfer Destination Trip Information, Second Year Experience Conference Information, and recommendations for Orientation activities. Click here for the Transfer Student To Do List! As a transfer student, you have options for new student orientation. We have designed two different options to meet the varied needs of students who have experience in other academic settings. Students are often concerned about registration for courses and which orientation will allow the best opportunity for course registration – they are all the same – neither option is going to give anyone an advantage for course registration.Students will meet in groups of 15-20 with an academic advisor and an orientation leader. Your orientation leader is a current student who once was new to DU as a transfer student – they are available to help answer your questions and share helpful hints. Over the course of three days you will receive academic advising prior to registration, learn about campus resources, hear from departmental faculty, meet other transfer students in your group, register for your fall quarter courses and configure your laptop. The orientation also includes free social activities in the Denver area including dinner on the town and a meeting other transfer students while taking in a Colorado Rockies baseball game. To register click here One Day Session Monday, August 20, 2007 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. This option is recommended if you are from the Denver area or plan to be in the area prior to September 4. This is a quick moving one-day session that focuses on what you need to know and registering for fall classes. The one-day program has less social interaction and less one on one academic advising than the multiple day session. Spend the day getting oriented to life at the University of Denver, hearing from offices with resources for students, configuring your laptop, learning how to utilize technology at DU and working with academic advisors and faculty as you register for fall courses. Plan to visit www.du.edu/discoveries to see updated information regarding the schedule, parking information and location of events.
This option is recommended if you are from out of state, living on-campus or wish to meet and interact with other transfer students and receive more in-depth information about academic advising, transfer student resources and work closely with an academic advisor.
