Transfer & Nontraditional Students
Online Orientation is required for all Transfer and Nontraditional students. Online Orientation will be completed through the online reservation system. You will receive an e-mail to your @bears.unco.edu account when you are able to sign up. It is intended to introduce student essentials and campus resources relevant to the transition to UNC.
Transfer and Nontraditional students are also encouraged to attend an optional four hour in-person Transfer & Nontraditional Welcome, which provides an overview of life at UNC, opportunities to connect with other students, advising, and class registration.

Sample Schedule
Note: Online Orientation must be completed by Transfer and Nontraditional students before attending the optional in-person Transfer & Nontraditional Welcome. We have purposefully structured the process so that learning the information in the Online Orientation will help support the in-person Orientation experience. The reservation for an in-person Orientation is available in the reservation system once Online Orientation is completed.
This is a tentative schedule and subject to change. The final schedule with details will be given to participants at check-in.
