Join the offices of New Student & Family Programs and Transfer Central in celebrating National Transfer Student Week Oct. 15-22. As transfer champions, it's vitally important that we build awareness of common transfer barriers and the diverse student needs and identities within our transfer populations.

National Transfer Student Week offers the perfect opportunity to highlight transition struggles, and successes, and unite our campus partners in advocating on behalf of our specific transfer population. Throughout National Transfer Week, NSFP and Transfer Central will host a variety of events to celebrate and highlight U of A transfer students.
