Hear what a few past and current transfer students

have to say about their time at the UO…

“Set up a time schedule. The community college I came from was worlds apart from classes at UO.” – Grant Smith

“Blackboard lists the emails of both students and instructors if you need to contact someone in a class.” – Derek Allen

“Don’t be afraid to tell people you’re a transfer student, especially professors. If anything, they will be more willing to help you find everything you need to be successful.” – Jordan Giboney

Zach transferred to the UO from Portland Community College, where he currently works as a part-time advisor. He has two pieces of advice for transfer students:

Zach WegnerClass of ’08 – B.A. in Sociology

1. “Take a transfer seminar. They give you tons of info on campus resources and a small group of friends.”

3. “Get involved on campus! There’s no better way to figure out where your passions lie. Also, it’s great for networking.”

Lindsey Anderson

“Locate where your classroom or lecture hall is before the first day of class. It isn't always easy trying to find buildings or rooms.”

Natalie Wells

“Keep at it. Stay the course. It will be tough, but in the end it will be for your greater good.”

Joshua Foster

“It simply is not enough to visit a website, read the catalog, or take a class. To be truly successful you must develop a personal relationship with your professors, department head, and GTF’s.”

Matthew Parker

assist them in being successful at UO. They recommend you take
