Programs and Schedules

During IntroDUCKtion, students and their families participate in two separate but concurrent programs tailored to address their specific needs. There are ten sessions to choose from. Seven are designed for freshmen, one for both freshmen and transfer students, one specifically for transfer students, and one—presented in Hawaii—for residents of that state.

Transfer Program

If you have completed more than 36 credits of course work at a U.S. college or university after graduating from high school or its equivalent, you may choose to participate in this one-day session. The transfer student program on July 30 provides academic advising, placement testing, campus information, and registration. The primary focus is on the needs of transfer students.

You will check in at 7:30 a.m. in the Student Recreation Center. The one-day program begins at 8:15 a.m. and ends by 5:00 p.m. While Interest Sessions are not mandatory, students must participate in all other components; arriving late will delay your ability to get advising and register for classes. Also please keep in mind the day's schedule when making travel arrangements.

University housing is not available for participants in the one-day program, but you may take a residence hall tour. Parents and family members are not offered a separate session during the one-day transfer program. Transfer students and family members who want a more extensive overview of campus should select the two-day program on July 30-August 1.
