Student Involvement

Transfer Student Orientation Programs

Xavier offers two orientation options for transfer students.  These are Manresa and Transitions. 

  • Manresa: Xavier's New Student Orientation program is designed for first year students.  It provides students a four-day orientation to the university and takes place immediately before the start of classes in the fall.  Manresa includes small group meetings, large group social events, and more. Transfer students who wish to participate in Manresa must register for the program in order to do so.
     
  • The Transitions Program is a one day orientation experience that transfer students can participate in along with graduate, weekend degree, and non-traditional students. Students must register for the Transitions Program if they choose to participate.
