Orientation - Transfer Students
Welcome new Transfer Students!
Transfer Orientation is the university's response to the unique needs of busy transfer students. It is a stream-lined, half-day, academic advising and course reservation process. Transfer Orientation gives incoming students the opportunity to visit the campus, register for classes, and take care of critical business prior to the start of the semester. It is also an opportunity for the university to inform students about the policies and procedures that influence their student experience at California State University San Marcos. Guests are not permitted at Transfer Orientation.
