New Student Orientation (Transfer Website)

Transferring between colleges and universities is often a significant change for students and family members, one we are excited and prepared to help you navigate.

New Student Orientation exists to create a dynamic, celebratory, and welcoming environment for all spring transfer students. This is a space to explore academic options, build community, and become familiar with the College's surroundings. Orientation also fosters an appreciation of Occidental's commitment to equity, excellence, and service, through trainings, team-building activities, and more. For more information, email swillison@oxy.edu.
