Transfer Orientation

Spartan Experience for Transfers is designed to help you prepare for a successful transition to SJSU. Review the sections below for important information about what to do before orientation, what to expect during your session, and next steps after completing the program!

Before Orientation

All admitted students must attend one Spartan Experience for Transfer session and participate for the entire duration of the program. The program is a one-day experience and begins at 8:00 am. For more information about the sessions, please visit the New Student & Family Program website. 

During Orientation

Advising during Spartan Experience for Transfers will be managed by your major advisors.  These are faculty within your major department.  They will assist you in choosing the correct courses for the Fall 2026 term.

Some students, not all, may receive emails as early as June from their major advisors, so please make sure you check your SJSU Gmail and personal email account for important information about course registration!

Next Steps

After completing all Spartan Experience for Transfers requirements, be on the lookout for emails from your major advisor, whom you will meet during orientation, as well as communications from the CHHS Student Success Center.
