Welcome Transfer Students
The Orientation staff would like to welcome you to Johns Hopkins University. We understand that your needs, as a transfer student, are different that of a freshman. You have already attended a college or university and your concerns and questions vary from those of first year students. The Orientation staff would like to offer you an opportunity to utilize us as a means to familiarize yourself with the University and its resources.
