An extended orientation designed to introduce the University Studies Program, Signature Questions, campus resources and academic policies with the goal of promoting engagement both in and outside of the classroom (30-59 credits).
Please Note: According to the university advising model (Total Intake Model), most transfer students meet with an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC) prior to starting their first semester. Transfer students who do not have an "intake" advising appointment in the UARC prior to the start of their first semester at UW Oshkosh will receive a registration hold.
During the "intake" advising appointment, transfer students are introduced to the University Studies Program and their specific requirements within the program. USP requirements for transfer students are based on the total number of credits the student transfers in and will be reflected accordingly on STAR.
Please contact your advising liaison in the UARC when questions arise while advising transfer students.
