Transylvania’s New Student Orientation

For Winter 2026 incoming students

There will be an orientation session for new and transfer students held Jan. 4, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. in Campus Center 118.

  

There is much to look forward to during your first year at Transy! The New Student Orientation helps incoming first-year and transfer students become familiar with the campus experience and the many resources and programs available to them.
