Student Transition Program

Program Overview

The Student Transition Program equips newly enrolled students with the tools, relationships, and confidence necessary to successfully transition from high school to university life — particularly those who may face additional challenges navigating the college experience. While STP is open to all incoming students, the following students are highly encouraged to participate:

First generation college students

BIPOC students (Black, Indigenous, persons of color)

Pell Grant eligible

Neurodivergent

Students feeling unsure about their transition to university

Eligibility

The program is free and open to all incoming first-year students. Registration must be completed by July 31, 2025, to participate in the program.

Benefits

Smaller group allows it to feel more like a community than a classroom
Get tips, advice, and encouragement from students who’ve been in your shoes
Start classes feeling ready, not lost
Discover campus resources you’ll use
Build relationships that last beyond orientation
Walk in with confidence—and walk out knowing you belong here.

Goals

Real Connections, Real Fast: Join a tight-knit group, meet potential mentors, and start building your crew before classes even start. Yes, there will be icebreakers—but the kind that actually help you connect, laugh, and feel like you belong.

Level Up Your College Confidence: Learn how to navigate everything from your syllabus to your student account. We’ll cover the stuff no one tells you (like how to email a professor or find the actually helpful study spots).

Feel Seen. Get What You Need: STP is made for students who want more than a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether you're first-gen, BIPOC, neurodivergent, low-income, or just figuring it all out—we’ve got you. You’ll get real support, relatable mentors, and help that actually makes sense for you.

Hack College Life Early: Get the inside scoop on campus life: money tips, academic resources, campus jobs, and how to avoid “new student overwhelm.”
