Welcome to the

Penn Transfer Family!

The Office of New Student Orientation & Academic Initiatives (NSOAI) would like to officially congratulate you on your admission to the University of Pennsylvania!

New Student Orientation (NSO) for all incoming first-year undergraduate students will begin with mandatory activities on the evening of Wednesday, August 23. In addition, as a transfer student, you will be participating in Transfer Student Orientation, which starts on Monday, August 21. This special programming will prepare you for your exciting transition to Penn this fall and is partly facilitated by student leaders from the Transfer Student Organization (TSO).

Move-In 

All transfer students are welcome to move in on Monday, August 21. By moving in on Monday, you will be able to take part in programming specifically designed to prepare you to thrive in the upcoming years. More details about these programs are coming soon!

Once your housing has been confirmed, you will be able to select a move-in time slot for August 21. Specific questions about housing can be directed to living@upenn.edu.
