All incoming transfer students must attend orientation prior to the start of the semester. At orientation, our new students will have a chance to explore the academic, social and residential aspects of campus life. Best of all, orientation is dedicated to helping new transfer students adapt to St. Bonaventure, so we can help you begin your new chapter.
