Transfer Orientation

Welcome to the Kean community! All incoming new freshmen and transfer students are required* to attend this important orientation event. The orientation will give students an overview to prepare to start the school year. The sessions include learning how to navigate campus, registering for classes, finding out about campus support services, meeting your new classmates and building meaningful connections. Students will also be able to receive their Kean I.D. onsite at the orientation. 

*Please note that participation in NSO is mandatory for ALL incoming new freshmen and transfer students, even if the student does not intend to live on-campus housing during the school year. Parents and family members do not need to attend as the orientation is only for the incoming student starting the Spring 2023 semester in January.
