Transfer Orientation Information
New transfer students starting in the summer or fall semester will receive an invitation via mail in March containing information on Transfer Orientation. To receive information, new transfer students must be admitted to the University for the upcoming summer or fall terms.
Students will not be able to complete Transfer Orientation until they have been fully admitted to the University and received their orientation invitation.

On-Campus vs. Online Orientation
All new transfer students to Tech must complete orientation as part of their enrollment process to the University. As a new transfer student, you have two options for orientation:
- Attending a one-day, on-campus orientation
- Completing online orientation

- » On-Campus Orientation
We offer three (3) on-campus orientation sessions for new transfer students. Transfer students will receive an orientation invitation in April providing instructions on how and when to register for one of these on-campus sessions. For more information about this option, please visit our Transfer Orientation Agenda site.

Note: There is no fee for new transfer students to attend on-campus orientation. There is a $15 fee for each guest registered to attend.
- » Online Orientation
In your orientation invitation, you will be provided instructions for our online transfer orientation option. This option provides transfer students with a brief introduction to the University, offers insight on campus resources you will have access to, and provides a glimpse into student life at Tech.
This program is designed for incoming transfer students who:
- Live more than 100 miles from campus
- Are transferring from another institution with 30 or more credit hours
- Are returning to school after a significant break in their education
- Have full-time work or family commitments
- Are planning to take online classes only
- Students usually complete online transfer orientation within 45 minutes to 1 hour.
