Transfer Orientation

Welcome to BSU !

The next steps for transfer students are designed to provide them with the information and guidance needed to make their transition to BSU successful. Students are encouraged to bookmark this website and regularly check back. This page will be updated often with important details, updates and new opportunities about their orientation experience.

 

Upon acceptance, each student will receive information via email prompting them to submit their deposit. Deposits may be submitted at bridgew.edu/deposit. Once a student submits their deposit, they will receive a confirmation email and the Transfer Checklist.

The Transfer Checklist guides students through the orientation process for a smooth transition to BSU. The steps outlined are very important and each step should be completed thoroughly. We believe once you complete these steps, you will be in a great position to continue your academic journey at BSU.

If at any point you have questions or need additional information, please know that Transfer Services is dedicated to supporting you during your transition. We encourage you to reach out and connect with a transfer representative at any point at 508.531.2686 or email TransferCentral@bridgew.edu.

Transfer Advising Workshops

All new day transfer students are required to sign up and attend an in-person Transfer Advising Workshop. During this time students will learn about BSU’s academic policies, finalize schedules, and have an advisor review their DegreeWorks.

Once you sign up for the Transfer Advising Workshop, please read your confirmation email for a detailed view of the schedule. As you will see, there are certain portions of the event that are optional so please view which aspects best suit your learning needs. One week before the event, more information will be sent to your new BSU email address. Once you sign up for a Transfer Advising Workshop, you will receive a Registration PIN. 

Note: If you are unable to attend a workshop due to availability or transportation challenges, you may arrange a phone call or virtual appointment with the Transfer Services department by emailing TransferCentral@bridgew.edu
