Transfer Transitions

Catalog description

This seminar is designed to help transfer students make a smooth transition to Loyola and get the most out of their Loyola experience. Informal class discussions, group activities, off-campus events, and presentations by instructors and guest speakers help to introduce students to the Jesuit mission; inform them of the resources available on campus and throughout Baltimore to support their academic, co-curricular, and career interests and goals; promote connections with both experienced mentors and transfer peers; and provide opportunities for community-building in a supportive environment. The course typically meets once per week, and each section is facilitated by a faculty member and/or an administrator. Class discussions and activities focus on topics such as academic transitions, goal-setting, career preparation, and leadership. Students receive grades of S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory). This course does not count toward the 120-credit graduation requirement.
