Description
As most who work in higher education know, transfer students are often an overlooked population on campus. We expect that they know what it is like to be a college student, yet they have to learn new policies and practices and acclimate to a different culture at their transfer institution. Over the last few years the University of Delaware has established a number of intentional efforts to better assist this traditionally underserved student population. Interest began at the grass-roots level with staff who work closely with transfer students – looking for ways to help smooth the transition to UD. What has developed has been a close working relationship between staff in Admissions, Registrar’s Office, Dean of Students office, Office of New Student Orientation, as well as college Dean’s offices, including the development and funding of a Transfer Services Coordinator position to provide a single point of contact for students as they enter the University. This session will provide an overview of how we developed these efforts and what we have planned for the future.
