Transfer Seminar

Full-time transfer students are encouraged to enroll in this 1-credit course which focuses on UNH Manchester academic and career resources. By incorporating topics such as internship and career planning, academic advising resources, and information literacy, the goal of this course is to foster the development of skills or strategies that are both applicable and valuable across disciplines as well promoting personal success as a new transfer student and beyond.

Students attending orientation will be automatically enrolled in our COVID testing program, and will be contacted to make an appointment to submit a COVID test prior to the event.
