Welcome to Santa Clara University! We are so excited to have you as part of our community of scholars. While you have already attended classes at another institution, there is much for you to learn to make a smooth transition into the community here at Santa Clara University. All transfer students are required to attend Transfer Orientation on Friday, September 18, 2009.

Once you submit your enrollment confirmation and fee, you will be prepared to make your reservation for a Transfer Workshop and Transfer Orientation. You should complete these action items no later that July 1, 2009 by logging onto eCampus (www.scu.edu/campus) with the username and password provided in your admission letter. Once we receive your reservation, we will send you a confirmation and additional information about the program. 

Transfer Workshops
All transfer students who choose to enroll at Santa Clara University for Fall 2009 are asked to attend a Transfer Student Workshop.  These workshops are designed to help you understand your Transcript Evaluation, review Core Curriculum requirements, and plan your course of study at Santa Clara University. You must make a reservation for one of these workshops when you register for Transfer Orientation.

We are offering two open workshops in June designed specifically for students who have not yet deposited with Santa Clara University. Information will be presented to assist in helping you make your decision to attend. To register for one of these sessions, please email orientation@scu.edu with your name, student ID number, and telephone number.

If you do not live in the Bay Area or surrounding communities, you may request to have a phone appointment with a University Advisor in lieu of attending a Transfer Workshop. Please contact the Office of New Student Programs at 408-551-1995 to schedule a phone appointment. This appointment should occur prior to attending Transfer Orientation.
