Your Guide to Transfer Orientation

What is Transfer Orientation?

Pride Experience 3: Transfer Orientation is a series of required virtual orientation programs designed to provide incoming transfer students, like you, the opportunity to explore helpful resources and make connections with faculty, staff, and current student leaders - before the start of classes!

The experience is designed with your prior collegiate experiences in mind to offer you a quick overview of a range of topics from how to get involved on campus to preparing yourself for success.

Which Orientation Program is Right For Me as a Transfer Student?

Transfer students entering Widener University in the fall semester will be assigned to Group A or Group B, based on the number of credits transferred from their previous institution. Transfer students entering in the spring semester will be assigned to one group. Please refer to the following chart to determine which program you will attend.
