GG GUIDE

Transfer Orientation

Transfer Student Orientation is divided into two components — online and in-person. All transfer students are required to complete both components of orientation.

Please note: Students will be unable to register for courses until completion of Transfer Student Orientation Part Two.

 
Part One

The online orientation will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and addresses the following topics:

  • Why is academic advising important?
  • How will I know which credits have transferred?
  • How do I register for classes?
  • How do I find out about financial aid?
  • How much is tuition and how do I pay it?
  • What resources and service does OU offer?

Part Two
Upon completion of the online orientation, you will be directed to register for Transfer Student Orientation Part Two. You will need to log into the system using your NetID and password in order to sign up. If you still need to activate your accounts, click here. 

The on-campus component is 2 1/2 hours long and gives you the opportunity to meet with an academic adviser, create a plan of study and register for classes.
