College Transition Support

You're here for a reason.

We want to ensure that your transition to Lafayette is as smooth and welcoming as possible.

We oversee the development and delivery of programs and resources geared towards students transitioning to Lafayette (particularly first-year and transfer students). We aim to provide the most useful academic resources, referral information, advising, and transition support possible. As part of this effort, we collaborate with a variety of campus partners integral to the success of transition initiatives, including campus life, the enrollment division, student leaders, and faculty from a variety of academic areas.
