New student orientation for transfers lasts an entire day: From check-in by 7-8am until after enrollment around 8:30pm. That being said, there’s just so much information and things you need to take care of during the day that you’ll most likely feel a little rushed if you come in completely unprepared. Make sure to prepare all of the above listed items the night before.
Most of orientation will center around class planning for your fall quarter. Transfers will be enrolling in a total of 3 classes (plus an optional university studies intro for transfers course) during orientation. 1-2 of these should be in your chosen major and at least 1 must be a course outside of your major.
If you would like to come in a little better informed, I recommend you read through the material I’ve prepared about how enrollment works, how to access your degree audit report (which lists exactly which classes you still need to take to fulfill all your major requirements), and how to use Class Planner:
