Welcome to the University of Rochester!
ello and welcome to the University of Rochester! Although college life is not new to you, UR is likely quite different from your previous institution. Your Orientation Program will show you how to navigate the university, preparing you for life at your new home. It will cover a wide range of topics and information to ensure a smooth transition to your future success here at Rochester.
Communication is the most important aspect of a new transfer student’s time at UR; if you need support, ask for it. Faculty, fellow students, and the various campus offices are here to assist you during and after your transition. The events that take place during Orientation should supply you with all the resources and contact information necessary to properly support yourself here at your new University.
A final thought: get out and explore; have fun! The University of Rochester is proud of its friendly student body and open-minded atmosphere. We are happy to have you join our Rochester family to complete your undergraduate education. Enjoy beginning a new chapter with us!
