About Transfer Student Orientation
Welcome New Hornet!
Congratulations on being admitted to Sac State!
As a new transfer student, you have the opportunity to continue your education in an environment rich with opportunity. Since every university/college is different, your first step is to attend Transfer Orientation, which is required for all new students. Students cannot register for classes until they attend Transfer Orientation.
During Orientation, you'll learn how your transfer credit applies towards your major and General Education. In addition, you’ll attend academic advising sessions, learn about programs and services and you will register for classes. Attending Orientation will help you get on the fast track to completing your degree.
Through First Year Engagement programming, you won’t miss all the other opportunities to get to know your new home including New Student and Family Convocation, Hornet Nest Fest, and more!

Child Care
Students who are in need of childcare (ages 6 mos.-kindergarten) during Orientation may arrange for free child care from the ASI Children's Center. This is based on space availability and requests for care should be made at least seven working days in advance. For arrangements call the ASI Children's Center at (916) 278-6216.
Disability Access Center
We strongly recommend for best-ensured service, that requests for sign language interpreters, real-time captioners, printed or audio materials in alternative formats, or other ADA accommodations be made at least 10 working days in advance of your Orientation by contacting the Disability Access Center at dac@csus.edu or (916) 278-6955 voice.
