Transfer Orientation session is a one-day program beginning at approximately 8:00 a.m. and ending around 5:00 p.m. The session includes experiences designed to allow students to learn about campus resources, interact with fellow new Eagles and current Eagles, meet with academic advisers and register for classes. Transfer Orientation Leaders are paired with groups of students to assist them with their transition to Winthrop University.
