Transfer Students

Transition Program for Transfer Students

After transferring to Saint Joseph's University, you will be invited to attend a multi-event orientation program held by the Office of Student Success. The orientation program is designed to help you meet other students, participate in social activities, learn more about life on Hawk Hill and have access to resources that will support your success. The program is led by former transfer students who can provide firsthand advice and mentorship to incoming students.

The orientation program is offered in August for transfer students who are starting at Saint Joseph's in the fall, and in January for first-year and transfer students who are starting in the spring. First-year students who are starting in the fall are invited to attend the summer orientation program.

SPRING ORIENTATION
