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.
