transfer student orientation
Congratulations on your acceptance to Southern Connecticut State University!
We believe that you have chosen the best university to continue pursuing your academic and career goals, and we enthusiastically look forward to welcoming you to the campus.
We are planning an exciting and informative one-day orientation program scheduled for Friday, August 14th. Our orientation program is designed not only to be a tremendous learning experience, but a time to socialize with over 400 transfer students who, like you, will be continuing their college careers at Southern. Along with learning how to navigate your way around campus, you will meet faculty and administrators, and have fun meeting new friends. This is a tremendous opportunity to prepare for a successful transition to Southern Connecticut State University.
If you have any questions, please contact The Office of Student Life at (203) 392-5782 or via email at Orientation@southernct.edu.
