Transfer & Transitioning Student Involvement

Getting involved as a new student at Washington Square is an important part of your adjustment to NYU and NYC. Fortunately, there are dozens of ways to get involved at NYU – in fact, there are so many involvement opportunities, they can sometimes be overwhelming! If you ask any student, getting involved helps you to feel more connected at NYU and assists in experiencing a greater sense of community at the University. We encourage you to explore the links to the right on this page to learn more about all the opportunities available at NYU.

A great place to start is with events and programs desigend specifically by and for transfer and transitioning students to Washington Square. Attend an event, join the Transfer & Transitioning Student Association, participate in the Transition 101 Series, CONNECT with a Transfer/Transition Ambassador or apply to be a part of the TRANSFERmation alternative break program.

If you are interested in getting involved or have any questions about Transfer & Transitioning Student Programs, e-mail Zach Harrell or Naomi Karp.

CONNECT with a TA

New to NYU? Interested in meeting other students that have transitioned? Sign-up to CONNECT with Transfer/Transition Ambassador (TA) who can answer your questions, provide tips about transitioning to NYU and NYC, and will host events, tours and information sessions throughout the year. If you are interested in signing up please email Zach Harrell! 

Transfer/Transition Ambassador Programs

Transfer/Transition Ambassadors (TA) are student leaders who have successfully transferred to NYU and serve as consulting leaders for the Student Resource Center.  TAs assist and provide fun and interactive programs for new transfer students during fall and spring Welcome Week, and all transfer and transitioning students throughout the academic year. You'll definitely want to make time to attend their events!

Transition 101 Series

The Transition 101 Series is a program designed to assist the transition of new transfer and transitioning students and provide an opportunity for returning transfer and transitioning students to connect. Each session provides students with tools and resources for becoming successful at NYU. This series takes place during the first six weeks of each semester, and will collaborate with campus partners, schools, staff and student leaders to present on the available support resources to help new students with the adjustment to both NYU and NYC.
