Transfer Orientation

Entering transfer students must attend Transfer Orientation.  During the course of the day-long event, you will receive information pertinent to your unique and collective needs, meet your major advisor, and register for classes.  Contact the Transfer Center at 443-885-3711 or by e-mail at transferctr@morgan.edu to register for the session of your choice.  Orientations for 2013 will be held in the University Student Center Theater as follows:

Spring 2013 semester: 

• Monday, January 14, 2013 (open to all transfer students who have completed the Admissions process, have been admitted to the University, and who have tendered the confirmation fee ($150)
  

Fall 2013 semester: 

• Transfer students admitted on or prior to April 15, 2013, for the fall 2013 semester, and who have tendered the confirmation fee ($150) may opt to attend an Early Bird Transfer Orientation on Tuesday, June 4, 2013.  Eligible students will be contacted by the Transfer Center individually for registration information.
  
• Friday, July 12, 2013 (open to all transfer students who have completed the admissions process, have been admitted to the University, and who have tendered the confirmation fee ($150); or
• Monday, August 19, 2013 (open to all transfer students who have completed the admissions process,  have been admitted to the University, and who have tendered the confirmation fee ($150)
  

Course registration is open to transfer students only on orientation days.  Transfer orientation dates fill up rapidly.  Do not wait until the last minute to register.  Meeting with your advisor before selecting classes is mandatory.    Be certain you have submitted the final transcript from your former school in order to avoid registering for courses you have already taken and satisfactorily completed.  If you complete a course at Morgan for which you have already received a passing grade from a former school and you receive a lower grade at Morgan, the Morgan grade will prevail on your transcript.  Also, failure to submit all transcripts from all institutions you have attended previously to the Office of Undergraduate Admission and Recruitment may be grounds for dismissal.  Make certain your paperwork is complete!

Finally, be certain to also submit as quickly as possible for evaluation all alternative credits you have completed successfully; i.e., Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and CLEP examination credits.
