The Advising & Transfer Center

What to know before visiting

Welcome back Seawolves! Your team in the Advising & Transfer Center cannot wait to have you back and to have your back as you return to your studies, realize your aspirations, and make the most of your educational experiences. Here are a few things to make note of before booking your first appointment of the semester:

  • We are currently open for both in-person and remote/online appointments. When scheduling your appointment, you can select the modality that works best for you!
  • Scheduling an appointment has never been easier! We recommend you (in order):
  • When visiting in person, please make sure to:
    • Bring your SSU student ID card for quick and easy check-in;
    • Wear a face mask, which will be required for the length of the visit; and
    • Provide proof of your completed Daily Wellness Screening

Out of town? Experiencing any COVID-related symptoms? Slept through your alarm and don’t want to sprint across campus? Call us and we’d be happy to change your appointment to remote/online!
