STARTING SCHOOL

While you may have already completed orientation at your previous institution, you’ll still need to attend an orientation program here at Washington University. Bear Beginnings: Fall Welcome will help you learn to navigate campus and meet other students at the university. Your Washington University Student Associates (WUSAs) will be there ready to help with anything and everything to make you feel welcome. With plenty of activities and fun ways to spend time with other transfer students, orientation is the first opportunity to connect with the transfer community and the beginning of many meaningful friendships.

COURSE REGISTRATION

Registration procedures vary depending on which academic division you are entering. You will be contacted by your academic adviser over the summer to register for courses you’ll be taking in the fall. No matter which academic division you are entering, be sure to retain syllabi and/or course information from your previous institution.

This information will be important for the evaluation of transfer credit awarded at Washington University. If you have any academic questions, don’t hesitate to contact your school, department, or academic adviser.

ARRIVAL INFORMATION

International transfer students will hear directly from the Office for International Students & Scholars (OISS) over the summer with specific details regarding arriving to the United States and St. Louis.
