Especially for TRANSFER STUDENTS

Transfer students are strongly encouraged to attend DelaWorld 101 between June 29 and July 22. A special information session has been designed especially for you -- "New to U? A Look at Life at UD as an Upperclassman" -- that will provide you with valuable insight into what it means to be a UD student. Advisors and other University administrators will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding your smooth transition to campus.

Preliminary evaluation of your transfer credits were sent to you. However, your college advisor will share information regarding departmental review of your credit to determine how your credit will apply toward your major. Please keep in mind that only credits transfer, not grades. Please bring your preliminary transfer credit evaluation with you to DelaWorld 101. Please review the Math Placement Exam information before attending DelaWorld.

If you were admitted before the completion of the semester, you must request a final transcript to be sent to the Admissions Office. Bring a copy of your spring semester final grade report to DelaWorld 101.
