[Agvisors] FW: Transfer Student Orientation Registration is Live!

Fri Feb 23 20:17:29 MST 2018

Greetings Agvisors,

Happy Friday - below is information on the Transfer Student Orientation registration which is now live on the Next Steps Center.  Aside from the two STU210 college meeting sessions next week, Maria will be sending the list of students signed up for each session as she does with the new Freshman.  Attached are the student names for the STU210 sessions - three students for 2/27 and ten for 3/2 (two worksheets within same sheet).

As a reminder, the Transfer student orientation sign up list will no longer be available on the google drive. Transfer orientation is required for all UA students (not just CALS) and orientation sign up date will be done directly on the Next Steps Center.  Expect a follow up email from me on Monday since I asked for further clarification on components not addressed in the email below. For your reference below are questions I sent. If you have others let me know.

In reference to the STU 210 college meetings next week:  I will provide them with your contact information and refer them to wiseadvise to schedule an advising appointment with you.  I will send the students a welcome email and provide the contact information within.  Advisors in the respective majors will be copied on the email as a reference.

Look forward to a successful new student orientation season. Let's show CALS students the "home away from home" community feel we provide. Thanks!

Best,
Nancy

More to come on the following

Questions sent:

*        How much is the transfer enrollment fee (EF) you refer to below?

*        What will the EF cover?

*        Will students get any material(s) from UA (calendar, handbook, etc.)?

*        Will placement exams, if needed, accrue a different fee?  If so how much for Math? Second Language?

*        How much money will they have on their lunch meal card?

*        The lunch has a timeframe but assume the meal card money won't expire, correct?

*        Who will be presenting the UA Student Tech? If colleges will be in different locations can the UA Student Tech start at least 10 minutes after the college meeting? Could that component be embedded and presented at the college meeting by chance?

*        Will your unit reserve college meeting locations or do we coordinate that?  Aside from STU 210 since we coordinated our own locations

*        New Student Services is at Old Main lower level at 520-621-5293, correct?

Thanks in advance for clarifying. Much appreciated!

Subject: [oac] Transfer Student Orientation Registration is Live!

Hello everyone,

We are happy to announce that registration for Transfer Student Orientation is now live on Next Steps Center! Within a half hour of opening registration, we already had two students sign up with no communication or notice, so we expect a large amount of registrations in the near future.

Here is some information about the registration process:

  *   There are nine available Transfer Student Orientation sessions between April and August, but date availability and capacity vary greatly between colleges, departments, and majors. Instead of listing specific dates, please direct students to Next Steps Center to view which options are available to them.
  *   If students don't see any available sessions or have conflicts with those listed, please direct them to New Student Services so we can check our registration system and discuss options.
  *   We are developing an online program as an alternative for those who have legitimate conflicts with available dates; however, this is not publicly available and we want to limit knowledge about this session to encourage as many in-person participants as possible. Please do not mention the online program as an option to students.
  *   Students have the option to register up to two guests for the program. There is a fee of $30 per guest. Students who applied and were eligible for a deferral of their Enrollment Fee are allowed to bring one guest free of charge.

And general information about the program itself:

  *   Transfer Student Orientation is mandatory for all domestic, main campus transfer students who are not participating in the STU 210 transition course.
  *   Students will have an individual academic advising appointment in addition to a more general college meeting; register for fall classes; receive their CatCard (if needed); and learn about campus resources through a resource fair, conference sessions, and open houses at the Transfer Student Center and VETS Center.
  *   We tell students to prepare for a full-day program, but it will vary from student to student. Advising appointments are half-hour meetings ranging from 11:30am-4pm and times will be assigned during the college meeting. We will have conference sessions and registration support running throughout the afternoon.
  *   A full sample program schedule can be viewed on the Orientation website<http://orientation.arizona.edu/sites/orientation.arizona.edu/files/Transfer%20Student%20Orientation%20Sample%20Agenda%202018.pdf> under the Transfer Students tab.

I have attached a copy of the email that will be going out to students shortly (note that some formatting does not display correctly in this PDF version). This version will go to students who have already completed the Enrollment Fee. We will send similar messaging to students who have been admitted but not interacted with the EF. After this initial batch of students, these will be modified into a regular communications series for students once they complete the EF.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you or your students have any questions about Transfer Student Orientation or the registration process. We will continue to send out new information as we finalize the program.

Thanks,
Damien
