Student Orientation and Registration

Transfer Students > Overview

Beginning at your Course Registration and Orientation session, we help you to plan your academic program throughout your college career:

We provide you with:

  • time with an Academic Advisor
  • Progress Reports each semester, which serve as your student advising tool, highlighting:
    1. Your completion of college requirements.
    2. Your credits in progress.
    to allow you to pre-register for the following semester.
  • other resources for your academic success!

At the New Paltz Transfer Orientation you will have the opportunity to:

  • Review your Official Transfer Credit Evaluation - our Transfer Admission counselors will assess all course work completed at previous institutions so that your official transfer credit evaluation can be ready when you arrive at Transfer Orientation.
  • Meet with Faculty Advisors - Your advisor will familiarize you with the academic expectations of your major and designate those transfer credits which meet major requirements.
  • Register for Classes - With the help of your advisor, you will plan your schedule and register for classes.
  • Maximize your College Experience - Professionals and student leaders will demonstrate how internships, study abroad, community service, leadership experience, technology and other essential elements lead to career success.
  • Discover Campus Life - Specialists from the areas of Intramurals, Varsity Athletics, Residence Life, College Activities, Health and Wellness will acquaint you with the many offerings which enhance a well-rounded New Paltz experience.
