Transfer Orientation

Attendance at both parts of orientation is mandatory for all new transfer students as they transition into their first semester within the Old Westbury community.

Be sure you have completed everything on the Transfer Orientation Checklist before attending any part of the Orientation program.

Summer 2025 Transfer Orientation

Part 1: In-Person Orientation Program

Emails are sent out weekly, to newly accepted transfer students with registration instructions. We use the email you put on your admissions application as well as your campus email.

Part 2: Advisement (approximately 30-45 mins.)

Advisement is based upon appointment availability set by faculty within each department. Instructions for advisement will be sent to your campus email after you have been confirmed for orientation. Please be aware that students who miss their orientation session and do not contact the department to reschedule within 24 hours of their assigned session will be de-registered from their courses.

ALL TRANSFERS MUST PAY THEIR TUITION DEPOSIT IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ORIENTATION ADVISEMENT!  While we communicate initially with your personal email address, all orientation confirmations and advising instructions are sent to your Old Westbury email address. 

Please note that a $100 orientation fee will be applied to your account.
