first-year students:
transfer credits: nothing to do with orientation
process with the academic advisor, in collaboration with faculty;essentially (at the end of the da) factulty decision (even ifi the same titlie) whether that course from that university can be transfered directly to this
every student here get san immersive experience; purpose is to have anice life on campus; specifically knowing about transportation resources, academic resources, health and well-being resources, affinity with comunity of baltimore;
first few weeks on campus; has one of the largest impact on your success rate in terms of how you feeel, knowing who to turn to when you have a challenge or struggle; students who are firstyear/transfer is the exact same; they have the same schedule, sit in the same rec center, same hopkins group events, expected to be at these events
only things that transfer students are not expected to be at is floo rmeeeting (obviously, doesn't apply to them, don't want to waste their time, if they're paying rent somewhere in the city, policies of being in a dorm)
they could still go fi they wanted to, but as if i were a trnasfer student thi sis a waste of time for me
transfer-specific meetings: meeting with academic advsior; these happen separately forw hitigna nd krieger (whitign: anne, krieger: dwayne), also ska, separate meeting with academic advising
transfer student panel: transfer student transfer students union works with orientation; student court team, or one of the staff in the office, developing a panel (shares experience with new transfer student); each share a littlebit about, moderator asks questions, 1&a with incoming transfer stuents; some things are unique to their expeience; very unique experience
transfer student social: sense of beonging on campus; have done listen-in students with transfer students, started this a few years sago, basedon the conversation with transfer students; one of the largest challenges foro those not on campus (ra, activities inr esidence hall); off campus is much harder completely different bubble, comign to school mostly for classes; this way encourages transfer students to interact with each other, also encourages transfers to come to harder to see things as community when only reason you come to school is for class
might be easier to relate to someone your eae
something changed: transfer students have a different level of development (student development), (all the fym sessions)
surprising that all students transferring would be housed together; or perhaps because fym
readching out to the transfer advisors: very open to this sort of things, i have met with them related to new student orientation
if someone is out for whatever, or if they are sick, or on vacationk or with family, there is alwys someone else who is their colelague who shall take over in their absence
