Transfer New Student Orientation

Students who have physically (or via distance) attended another institution of higher education and are transferring to Indiana State University must attend New Student Orientation. Students with dual credit and College Challenge credits only are still considered first-year (freshman) students. Families and guests of students are encouraged to attend but not required.

All new transfer students will be assessed a fee of $45 on their first e-bill.
