Transfer Students
We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant and diverse community! As a transfer student, you’re bringing unique experiences and perspectives that will enrich our campus. Adjusting to a new university can be both exciting and overwhelming, but BU offers countless resources and support services to help you transition smoothly. We are here to support you every step of the way. Welcome to Terrier Nation!
Please keep the following in mind:
- Orientation is required for all new undergraduate transfer students.
- Registration for Fall Orientation will go live May 1, 2026.
