Summer Session Transfer Orientation

Summer Transfer Orientation is designed for new transfer students beginning their studies at UL Lafayette during the summer semester. During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet other incoming students, learn about university resources, discuss the transfer credit articulation process, and meet with an academic advisor in your area of study and register for classes (if not completed prior to orientation). Members of our Student Orientation Staff will help you understand what it means to be a student on our campus and will guide you through the experience.

Orientation Dates

Please note: Students who schedule Summer Semester classes on or after the Summer semester Tuition and Fees Payment Deadline of June 9, 2025 will incur a $50 late course registration fee that will be applied to their Tuition and Fees. Transfer students are encouraged to schedule classes before this date to avoid this late fee.

Orientation Registration

Transfer Orientation registration, for Summer and Fall 2025, is not yet available. Orientation registration and academic advising information will be e-mailed to Transfer students in late March 2025. Follow the instructions sent in this email to register for Orientation and sign up for an Academic Advising appointment.

Academic Advising

Once you receive your orientation registration email, you may reach out to your Academic Advisor and they may be able to meet with you now, or you can schedule an appointment for advising. An academic advisor will review previously earned course credits, discuss options for next semester and remove your advising hold. The transfer advisor directory can be found on ULink under Registration --> Get Advised or here.
 

Orientation Fee

The fee for Orientation is $60 and includes parking, program implementation, all program materials, food, a Ragin’ Cajuns® spirit shirt, lanyard, pen and bag. Your Orientation fee must be paid online via ULink before attending orientation. Click here for payment instructions.

Orientation Housing

Overnight accommodations are not available for Transfer Orientation. Students attending this session should view the local hotel information and rates on our website.
