Transfer Zone

When you chose to attend the University of San Diego, you undoubtedly wanted a school which would make your education as personal as possible. The Torero Days Program which begins Saturday, September 1, 2008, is an example of our efforts to meet that expectation and has been designed to help you get to know the programs, places and faces which make up the community of which you will soon be a part. Although you have already transitioned into college, every college and university is different and we have found it is important for student success to connect all new students to the resources, services, culture, and mission of USD. That is why we have specific programs for transfer students listed below. Torero Days information has been sent to you. Please read the information carefully. We also believe the other Mandatory programs in Important Meetings are key to student success at USD and you are asked to attend those. You are also encouraged to participate in the "all new student" social programs as well as the transfer programs listed below.

We hope you are as excited about Torero Days 2008 as much as we are and look forward to seeing you in the Fall!
