Transfer Students

Whether you’re transitioning into the University of Miami from community college, 4-year institution, previous military service or from a number of other unique experiences, our Department tries to acclimate transfer students through a variety of educational programs and services. We encourage all commuter and transfer students to interact with our office and others to learn more about the programs and events that are in place for commuters and transfers during the year.
