Transfer Student Orientation

Fall 2026 Transfer Student Orientation

Transfer Student Orientation is designed to offer you a robust introduction to life at Vanderbilt, including informational sessions and small-group discussions that will help you navigate your academic program, campus resources, extracurricular activities, and student life on Vanderbilt’s campus. Through TSO, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with Transfer Student Leaders (juniors and seniors who transferred to Vanderbilt themselves) and other incoming transfer students. Your Transfer Student Leader (TSL) will serve as a guide throughout your first semester at Vanderbilt.

Transfer Student Orientation begins on Transfer Move-In Day and concludes at the end of the first week of classes. The Transfer Student Orientation 2026 schedule will be posted during Summer 2026.
