What is TRANSFER-mation?
TRANSFER-mation is a required half-day orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about college resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Is TRANSFER-mation required?
Yes. TRANSFER-mation is required for all transfer students who are starting at Augsburg in Spring 2010.
How do students register for TRANSFER-mation?
Registration will be available online in mid-Fall.
When and where is check-in for TRANSFER-mation?
Check-in will take place in the Christensen Center Lobby. The time will be announced closer to Spring 2010 TRANSFER-mation.
What should students do if they have attended an orientation program at their previous institution?
Many colleges and universities have amazing orientation programs that help you become familiar with their specific institution. However, each institution is different. TRANSFER-mation is a short orientation program that will offer incoming transfer students the “nuts and bolts” of Augsburg College, but will not focus on specific transition issues that they have covered in previous orientation programs. TRANSFER-mation does, however, give incoming transfer students a good breadth of information to help address concerns and answer questions students may have about transitioning to Augsburg College.
Should transfer students commuting to campus attend TRANSFER-mation?
Yes. TRANSFER-mation is designed for all transfer students.
When do students living on campus in the fall move into their residence hall?
Students will receive information on their specific move-in date and time from Residence Life. For additional questions, please contact Housing Specialist Cyndy Rowe at rowe@augsburg.edu or 612/330-1488.
Can parents attend TRANSFER-mation?
No. TRANSFER-mation is specifically designed for transfer students. However, parents are welcome to come and explore the Augsburg campus and surrounding community while students participate in the TRANSFER-mation program.
Where is parking available during TRANSFER-mation?
Parking is available in any designated Augsburg College parking lot free of charge. A map of parking lots on campus can be found here.
