New Transfer Students
Welcome to CSU!
Welcome to CSU, parents and family members of transfer students! CSU has an expansive community of transfer students which includes a large community of adult learners, student veterans, student parents, and more! As your student is either looking for more resources and/or preparing for their time here on campus, there are some helpful resources and programs specifically for transfer students outlined below.
Transfer Student Orientation
Ram Orientation supports students transition to CSU by connecting them to the campus community and support services. Our on-campus orientation is typically a 1-day program that allows students to connect with peers, campus resources, current students, take a campus tour, and participate in group advising that will allow them to register for classes.
As a family member, we invite you to attend orientation with your student! Our office will be present during the experience to help transition you into the RamFam.
Ram Welcome Summary
Ram Welcome allows students to build on their orientation experience and begin their transition to CSU. During Ram Welcome students explore academic programs, learn about support services on campus, and begin to build their community on campus. Ram Welcome occurs at the beginning of each Fall and Spring semester and all new students are expected to participate in Ram Welcome.
Transfer Student Resources
Orientation and Transition Programs hosts Transfer Programs @ CSU, which aims to get transfer students engaged while meeting their unique needs as a population. Check out our Resources tab for more info!
We recognize that there are often so many questions from family members of transfer students on how they can ensure their student is getting the support they need. We say that having access to as much information as possible can really aid you in having conversations with your transfer student. CSU Admissions hosts some great resources on transfer credits and more, including a transfer student guide for both domestic and international transfer students.
