Online New Transfer Student Orientation

All new transfer students to the University of Cincinnati are to complete the required modules of the Online New Transfer Student Orientation.  We have developed an online orientation that covers the basics you will need to be successful and will complement your academic advising and registration information that you will receive from your college.

Getting Started

In order to get started for your Online New Transfer Student Orientation, you will need to get your UC Username and log on to Blackboard.  Only new transfer students who have been admitted to an undergraduate degree program and have confirmed their admission can get a username and access the online orientation.  If you have any questions about your admission or confirmation status, contact the Transfer and Lifelong Learning Center at (513) 556-2247 or email at transfer@uc.edu.
