First-year and transfer students are welcomed and integrated into our living and learning campus community from the first moment they arrive on campus. All new students participate in an interlocking set of programs designed to help everyone make a strong transition to college life.
We want all new students to be prepared for the difficult work of college courses, to learn the right study habits and to get used to asking for help from professors. The First-Year Experience offers exciting events and focused seminars that introduce first-years to each other and to the College. The Transfer Student Experience offers transfer students an important view of how IC is a special institution and how they can make the most of their time on campus. Through these programs, students share common experiences, explore values, create lasting bonds and become valued members of our community.
