Transfer Orientation

Welcome to the Kean community! All incoming transfer students are required to attend Transfer Student Orientation (TSO). Here you will receive the necessary tools for a successful first year at Kean University. 

Registration coming soon! 

Please note that participation in Orientation is mandatory for all new students.

• If you require accessibility accommodations, notify the Office of Accessibility Services two weeks prior to your orientation session.

Students will also automatically be enrolled in a Blackboard class following Transfer Student Orientation which will provide them with videos from the day’s program to use as an at-will resource. This course will also have a resource folder with everything that a Kean student might need to know to succeed during their first semester.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to the Orientation Staff at nso@kean.edu.

Accessibility Services is here to provide assistance and accommodations for all students with physical, medical, learning, emotional and/or psychological documented disabilities both temporary and permanent. Any student requiring an accommodation due to a disability needs to contact the Office of Accessibility Services two weeks prior to their selected NSO session.
