Transfer Student Orientation
If you are a transfer student and plan to start at the University of Denver in winter quarter 2013, please visit the Winter Orientation page.
All students new to the University of Denver must attend an orientation session.
We know as a transfer student your needs are different than a first-year student. You've had experience on a college campus and need to learn the ins and outs of DU specifically, rather than broad strokes about university life in general.
Discoveries for transfer students is tailored to meet those needs, and also designed to get you connected to a network of other transfer students who will share a similar experience here at DU.
During orientation, you will spend ample time with an academic advisor, register for classes, get connected with staff on campus, and participate in social activities.
