Congratulations on your decision to attend Towson University! To make your transition to TU as smooth as possible, the Office of New Student Programs coordinates orientation programs for first-year students, transfer students, and family members. During orientation you’ll learn about the many academic and co-curricular programs designed to enhance your first year experience. We look forward to seeing you soon!

TU CARES for Transfer Students - Summer 2008                                        

TU CARES stands for Towson University Campus Advising & Registration for Entering Students. TU CARES is a one-day orientation and registration program that will assist you with your transition to Towson University. The program includes information sessions about academic and student life, campus resources, academic advising and registration.

All new transfer students are required to attend one of these dates to complete required administrative tasks, understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of the TU community,  as well as meet with an academic advisor to create a first-term course schedule.
