Transfer Orientation

Join the Kean community for this virtual event!

We’ve planned a fun-filled and academically-focused orientation for incoming transfer students, with part one hosted virtually on Monday, August 17 at 10 a.m. Incoming transfer students are required to attend both components of orientation, which will introduce you to our campus support services, your new classmates, and the available tools to ensure your academic success at Kean University.

Each student is required to sign-up to reserve their space at Transfer Student Orientation. Part One is a live, interactive webinar regarding our campus resources. Please note that orientation is mandatory and you must register for both parts of orientation separately. More information is below regarding Part Two.

After joining us online for Part One, visit us to finalize your orientation from the comfort of your car at one of our Cougar Packet Pick-Up Days! This orientation will be hosted at the New Jersey Center for Science, Technology and Mathematics (Stem) Building parking lot.

This is an opportunity for accepted transfer students to pick-up important items needed for the fall semester, such as your student ID card, orientation kit, which includes goodies and important health guidelines for the fall semester as outlined under the University's Return to Campus plan. You will also be able to purchase your textbooks. You have the opportunity to pick them up curbside at our Barnes and Noble when your order within 48 hours of your chosen time slot; simply select "New Student Pick-Up" at checkout.

Registration is required for orientation and there is a strict limit on daily Cougar Pick Up Day participation. When traveling to campus, please follow New Student Orientation signage and remain in your vehicle at all times. If you are taking public transportation to campus, Kean’s Trolley will be available to transport you through pick up day. Please be sure to have a valid driver’s license or some other form of identification to show when obtaining your Student ID. NOTE: Only students who have registered for classes can participate in CPPD and receive a student ID.
