Transfer Orientation Dates?

<p>I'm still waiting for the UW to receive/record my documentation. I'm wondering what orientation dates those who were accepted earlier had to choose from? I want to get one as early as possible but I'm also planning my summer vacation. Thanks!</p>

<p>Okay, I think I found the information on the First Year Programs:</p>

<p>Possible Transfer Orientation Dates: </p>

<p>July: 7/16, 7/18, 7/22, 7/23, 7/24, 7/25, 7/30
August: 8/1, 8/6, 8/8, 8/13, 8/15, 8/20, 8/22, 8/27, 8/29
September: 9/17</p>

<p>When I registered for mine my only options were July 22, 23, 24, and 25. I am sure there are more, but those were the only days I had access to in the drop down menu. I registered Saturday June 22nd.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. The other ones were probably full. I’m thinking that I may not be able to get into a session until August.</p>

<p>I called the first Year Programs this morning and what they told me is that your orientation date options depend on your major. Because my major is Biology, the only date available for me are July 22nd and July 23rd. General admission oriention sessions start on July 16th.</p>

<p>@alexandrab14: Looking at the calendar again, I realize the dates you got are the days the calendar is marked with “A&S”, presumably that’s Arts& Sciences. So maybe there are slots available on the earlier dates for non-A&S transfers?</p>

<p>@RoseVanessa: Yes, I will make an updated post with majors.</p>

<p>Possible Transfer Orientation Dates:</p>

<p>July: 7/16 (General, Foster), 7/18 (General), 7/22 (A&S), 7/23 (A&S, Foster, Enviro), 7/24 (A&S), 7/25 (General, A&S), 7/30 (General, Foster)</p>

<p>August: 8/1 (General), 8/6 (General), 8/8 (General, Foster), 8/13 (General), 8/15 (General), 8/20 (General), 8/22 (General), 8/27 (General), 8/29 (General, Enviro)</p>

<p>September: 9/17 (General)</p>

<p>Yes mine was A&S but I had checked both general and A&S originally so that I could see what dates fit my schedule best. They actually emailed me 3 days after I registered saying that they accidentally added the wrong dates for my major. This was after I already booked my flight! luckily it ended up working out though and an adviser agreed to meet me.</p>

<p>@alexandrab14 - Glad everything worked out!</p>

<p>I was able to register for a 7/22 A&S session - the first general session available was 8/1 so I just switched my major of interest on the FYP page to one of the A&S majors so I could get the earliest date possible.</p>

<p>I’m a transfer and my A&O session in July 16th. I got my acceptance letter really early though (in May), so I was able to register for the first session.</p>

<p>^^ Mine’s the 16th, as well.</p>
