In order to aid in the successful transition from the former college to SUNY New Paltz, the Office of Student Development and the Office of Student Advising provide entering transfer students with a comprehensive and intensive Transfer Orientation and Course Registration program. This program provides transfer students with a complete overview of the university's general academic requirements, requirements for the major program of study and advisement on course transfer and program development for the coming semester.
Students actually register for the upcoming semester at the conclusion of the session.
The program is scheduled for a variety of dates and times, so as to be as convenient as possible for all entering transfer students. Invitations to the Transfer Orientation and Course Registration program are sent to all accepted transfer candidates.
