What's Canisius College orientation like for transfer students?

I'm transferring to Canisius College next semester and I'm curious about their orientation process for transfer students. What should I expect? Is there anything specific I should prepare for?

Orientation sessions are designed to make the transfer as smooth as possible and help you adjust to your new environment. Canisius College typically holds a welcoming event for new students (including transfer students) providing valuable time to learn about school policies, meet with academic advisors, and register for classes.

Academically, you'll likely have the chance to review your transfer credits and align them with your planned course of study. Be prepared to discuss your academic goals and previous coursework with an advisor, so they can assist you with course selection.

You may also be introduced to some campus resources such as the career center, student health center, counseling services, libraries, and more. These sessions are meant to make you feel supported and comfortable in utilizing services that are integral to your success and well-being.

In addition, orientation is a great opportunity to connect with other transfer students who are in the same boat as you. There might be social events or team-building activities designed for this purpose. Participating in these events could be a helpful way to begin forming your network of friends on campus.

Remember, the goal of this orientation is to make your transition to Canisius College as comfortable as possible. You might want to prepare a list of questions you have about your academics, campus life, and any other aspects of your college experience.
