Transfer Students

The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership offers support to new and returning transfer students on campus. PLU welcomes approximately 300 new transfer students each year. We recognize that transfer students have different needs than freshmen as new students on our campus.

Transfer students' previous experiences can range from one completed semester to a completed Associate's or even Bachelor's degree. Our goal is to meet the variety of transfer students' academic and social needs as they transition to PLU through programming, publications, student organizations, outreach, and advocacy.

Whatever your previous college experience or knowledge of PLU we hope that the information and resources linked on the right will help ease your transition and help you to be a successful Lute!

Get connected with Transfer Orientation!

We consider PLU to be a perfect ending to any college experience and we're glad you chose us! As transfer students, you bring an experience and a perspective that could not be gained from anywhere else, and that insight makes you a major asset to the PLU community.

We are here to help you find your way into that community. There are several Transfer Student Orientation programs designed specifically with your needs in mind.

We encourage you to make as many sessions as possible to make your transition to PLU as smooth as possible, and to help remove some of the stress and anxiety that comes from entering a new system and new environment. We encourage you to continue to reference back to this site, at is will be update as soon as more details are finalized. Please email us if you have any questions!
