Transfer Student Orientation
Regardless of your previous college experience, you will need time to learn the UMass Boston culture and transition into the community.
At Beacon Beginnings: Transfer Student Orientation, transfer students will:
- Meet other new students, current student leaders and administrators, faculty and staff;
- Attend a group advising session and get a summary of your degree requirements and other important academic information. You’ll get all the help you need to start choosing your classes for the upcoming semester;
- Learn about campus services, activities, opportunities and resources;
- Enroll in courses for the upcoming academic semester;
- Learn the University’s expectations for students both in and out of the classroom;
- Have an opportunity to answer all of your questions from offices such as Financial Aid, Bursar, Dean of Students, Health Services and more;
- Feel better prepared to start UMass Boston.
Please note that certain courses are chosen faster than others. In order to have the most courses available to you during registration, we recommend that you register for the earliest Beacon Beginnings session available. Registration for students admitted for the Fall 2012 semester will open in March. Please check back at that time for more information.
Please feel free to contact us for further assistance and queries.
