Session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orientation at the University of Michigan-Flint is designed to facilitate a smooth transition and help you make the most of your college experience. As a transfer student, we recognize that you may already be familiar with a university environment and expectations, so we strive to offer you the most vital information significant to your success here at UM-Flint. Many of the policies, procedures and opportunities will be new and different to you, regardless of where you are transferring from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-2\">We cover policies and requirements unique to UM-Flint, assistance in understanding your academic program requirements, financial aid awards, campus resources, and opportunities to meet with faculty.<br><br>Before registering for your first semester courses, you must meet (virtually or via phone until further notice) with an Academic Advisor.&nbsp; We encourage you to schedule an advising appointment as soon as possible after you have been admitted to the university. Please contact the Student Success Center if you do not know who your advisor is.<br><br>Go over the following sections to prepare for orientation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Register for Orientation: \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to the <a href=\"http:\/\/sis.umflint.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Information System<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the \u201cStudent Services\u201d link<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the following screen, click on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/prod-ext.umflint.edu\/BannerExtensibility\/customPage\/page\/NewStudent_Orientation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register for Orientation<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/orientation\/transfer-student-orientation\/pre-checklist\/\">Transfer Student Pre-Orientation Checklist<\/a>:\u00a0See what you need to prepare, how to get here, where to park, and additional information you will need <strong>(Note:\u00a0 This is not applicable for online orientation)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/orientation\/transfer-student-orientation\/agenda\/\">Transfer Student Orientation Agenda<\/a>:\u00a0 See the schedule and activities planned for your orientation<strong> (agenda not applicable for online orientation)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/orientation\/first-year-orientation\/#FAQ\">Orientation FAQs<\/a>:\u00a0Here you will find answers to questions we receive from students about Orientation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*A non-refundable one-time Orientation fee of $50 is added to all transfer students&#8217; tuition bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color\">Fall 2026 Transfer Student Orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Group<\/th><th>Date<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>Location<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>New Transfer Students<\/td><td>Continuous*<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Self-Paced Online<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer Students<\/td><td>Friday, April 24, 2026<\/td><td>9:30 a.m.\u20133 p.m.<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/S6U7hDnLoZULzmfm8\">University Center<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer Students<\/td><td>Friday, June 19, 2026<\/td><td>9:30 a.m.\u20133 p.m.<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/S6U7hDnLoZULzmfm8\">University Center<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer Students<\/td><td>Friday, July 24, 2026<\/td><td>9:30 a.m.\u20133 p.m.<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/S6U7hDnLoZULzmfm8\">University Center<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer Students<\/td><td>Friday, August 14, 2026<\/td><td>9:30 a.m.\u20133 p.m.<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/S6U7hDnLoZULzmfm8\">University Center<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*Students are notified via email when their orientation content is accessible to them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-5\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/orientation\/transfer-student-orientation\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":28,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-35","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":430,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35\/revisions\/430"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
