Dedicated Help and Support for Transfers
The Assistant Director of Transfer Success, Deb Marcus (they/them), works with incoming transfer students at BU to help them make a smooth transition.
It is quite common for Deb to help transfer students with things like:
- Transferring credit from other institutions
- Understanding the BU Hub transfer curriculum
- Finding community and getting involved
- Adjusting to the rigor of BU academics
Deb understands that when you’re new, you may feel confused about how things work and uncertain about who to contact with your questions. Consider them your first point of contact. It’s also okay if you don’t know exactly what questions to ask. Deb will help get you oriented and connected.
