Transfer START

Transfer START is a one-day program designed to provide a successful transition for new incoming transfer students to UWL. Students can expect to meet other new transfer students, learn about UWL student success resources, engage with their academic college and receive supplemental assistance with course registration. The program is held on the UWL campus.
