Transfer Student Services

Transfer students are encouraged to utilize the services and resources provided by the Center for Student Success.  In addition, the following initiatives and opportunities are available specifically for transfer students. 

Transfer Student Seminar (FYSP1030)

The objective of the Transfer Student Seminar is to promote the development of both academic and personal skills for any student who has transferred to RMU from another academic institution. This course provides students with the knowledge and resources needed to ease the transition from one institution to another, assists in laying the groundwork for adjusting to academic major requirements and planning a career, and generally helps students feel connected to the university. This one-credit course includes six in-class sessions for the semester and two outside meetings with the student’s Peer Mentor and Success Coach.

Undergraduate transfer students are highly encouraged to complete this course during their first semester at RMU. The course is taught by the Transfer Student Advisor, Jonathon Saxman. A Peer Mentor also serves as a resource for students as they navigate their first semester at RMU.
