I'm hoping to transfer to UC Davis and would like to know more about the transfer orientation through the College of Letters and Science. What should I expect, and how can I best prepare?
Congrats on looking to transfer to UC Davis! UC Davis is known for going out of their way to make their transfer students feel welcome and they have an excellent orientation designed specifically for transfer students.
The Transfer Orientation is much like a one-day induction, which provides an introduction to the campus resources, academic expectations, and opportunities outside the classroom. It's not only about understanding the campus and academics but also about getting to know culture, people, and traditions at UC Davis. In addition, you will have an opportunity to meet your academic advisors who will guide you through your journey at the university.
Preparation-wise, I suggest coming with questions to ask about your major, housing, financial aid, clubs and organizations, or anything else you're curious about. Get a good night's sleep the night before because it's going to be a packed day!
Remember, orientation is a time to have any final questions answered before you start the semester, so don't be shy about asking. Everyone there wants to help you feel at ease and confident about your transfer. And most importantly, enjoy the day – you’ll get an insider’s look at campus life and the chance to meet other incoming students!
Best of luck with your transfer process! Feel free to drop in more queries if you have any.
