See the tasks you’ll need to complete before and after New Student Orientation.
New Student Orientation introduces transfer students to the community at Towson University and supports them in the adving and registration process.
If you have questions, please email New Student and Family Programs at newstudentprograms AT_TOWSON.
New Student Orientation will be held in December and January for transfer students starting in Spring 2025. Don't forget to register your family member or guest for Family Orientation. It is important you have confirmed your major, as major advising is a critical part of orientation and impacts the dates available to you.
At New Student Orientation, you'll meet fellow incoming students and learn about your course schedule, academic standards, living on/off campus and what it means to be a part of the TU community.
