Transfer Student Orientation

We welcome you to campus for Transfer Orientation Aug. 22–24, 2025 — just before classes start on Monday, Aug. 25.

What happens at Orientation?

If you are living on campus, move into your residence hall, unpack, and get prepared for the academic year.
Meet your peer mentor, who will support you through Orientation.
Attend sessions created just for you about about how you can be academically successful at Clark, and learn all the ways you can get involved, serve our community, and become connected.
Make new friends, explore the campus and Worcester, and be prepared for the first day of classes.
