Transfer Student Orientation
Fall Transfer Student Orientation
Transfer Student Orientation (TSO) is designed to offer you a robust introduction to life at Â鶹APP, including informational sessions and small-group discussions that will help you navigate your academic program, campus resources, extracurricular activities and student life on Â鶹APP’s campus. Through TSO, you will also have the opportunity to connect with Transfer Student Leaders (juniors and seniors who transferred to Â鶹APP themselves) and other incoming transfer students. Your Transfer Student Leader (TSL) will serve as a guide throughout your first semester at Â鶹APP.
The full Transfer Student Orientation schedule will be posted in early July 2026.
Transfer Student Orientation begins on Transfer Move-In Day and concludes at the end of the first week of classes. Mandatory events may only be missed for academic conflicts, illness or religious observances. Please contact residentialcolleges@vanderbilt.eduÌýin advanceÌýif you believe you need to miss any portion of orientation.
