Transfer Student Experience
We want to make your transition to Saint Louis University as smooth as possible. We’re here to help you get involved on campus, tell you about the resources that are here to support you, and to plan special activities and programs designed to help you achieve academic and personal success. Welcome to SLU.
Before classes start, you'll head to SLU for a special transfer orientation that will prepare you for your life as a Billiken.
Fall Welcome for Transfer Students
Fall Welcome at SLU isn’t just for incoming freshman students. Multiple programs during Fall Welcome are designed specifically for transfer students to meet one another and to learn about SLU. You can look forward to meeting your transfer mentors, finding your footing through the transfer student orientation, and enjoying the transfer student "cook in," as you start to find your place at SLU.
