Greetings from Philadelphia University!  We invite you to continue your undergraduate experience by participating in our Transfer Days orientation program.  Transfer Days is an opportunity for new transfer students to preview the PhilaU experience and complete important steps to prepare for your new academic home.

All transfer students are required to attend one of the three Transfer Days to be held throughout the summer.  These half-day sessions are designed specifically to welcome transfer students to the advising and registration process, finalizing your class schedule prior to the start of the fall semester.

The three Transfer Days will be offered on the following dates:

  • Thurs., June 21, 2012
  • Thurs., July 12, 2012
  • Tues., August 14, 2012 (*)

(*) Please Note:  The August session is intended for students traveling from more than 250 miles away and are unable to make two trips to campus over the summer, otherwise students and guests are encouraged to participate in one of the four June or July program sessions.

After the basics such as advising and registration are completed, New Student Orientation and Welcome Weekend is scheduled from Thurs., Aug. 16 - Sun., Aug. 19, 2012.  Activities during this program include the University Convocation Ceremony and the President’s Family Picnic, and sessions specifically designed for Transfer students. This program will supplement the Transfer Days by introducing students and their families to more of the social and transitional aspects of being a new student – getting involved on campus, finding your way around, resources to be successful and will provide a chance to interact with the student START Leaders.

If you have questions regarding the Transfer START and Family Orientation Program, please call the Office of Student Development Programs at 215-951-2634.  We look forward to meeting you this summersummer!
