TRANSFERmation

What is TRANSFERmation?
This is an opportunity for you and other SIUE transfer students to learn more about Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and, we hope, to ease any concerns you have about your transition to our campus. TRANSFERmation program sessions are designed to assist you with your unique needs in attending SIUE and introduce you to our programs, services, and activities. Faculty, staff, and current SIUE students will be available throughout the program to ensure that you leave campus feeling even more comfortable in your choice to attend SIUE.

When can I attend TRANSFERmation?
TRANSFERmation programs for transfer students entering in spring 2009 will be held Thursday, January 8, 2009;  for those entering summer or fall 2009, sessions will be held on August 11 and August 18, 2009. Invitations for these TRANSFERmation sessions will be mailed approximately six weeks prior to the program date.

What information is covered during the TRANSFERmation program?
Program attendees should already have met with their academic advisor and registered in their courses; thus we want to ensure that all your other campus needs are taken care of before the start of classes.

Highlights of the program include:

• introduction to academic programs and requirements
   
• opportunities to meet other new transfer students
   
• residence life and commuter resource information
   
• features from the Career Development Center and various areas within Student Affairs
   
• opportunity to get your SIUE campus ID
   
• time to explore campus with expert student leaders
   
• opportunity to ask questions specific to your transfer process
