Transfer Student Resources

Welcome

Dear Transfer Student:

Congratulations! In a few short months, you will begin your experience at Bowdoin.  It is our hope that the contents of this website will help answer questions and address concerns you may have.  When you arrive on campus, there will be many people here at Bowdoin to greet you and upon whom you can rely for guidance and support from the outset and throughout your Bowdoin experience.  These range from your residence hall RA, your Dean, the staffs of the Counseling Service, Health Center, and other members of the faculty and administration.

Meanwhile, we would encourage you to browse this website along with our Orientation website so that you can learn more about what to expect as a transfer student.  We would like to point out that only the documents that are mandatory for you as a transfer student are included on this website.  That said, you certainly have the option of participating in whichever parts of Orientation you choose such as a Pre-Orientation trips or the first-year book discussion groups.  Although you will not be a first-year student at Bowdoin, the Orientation website may be useful for you as a new student on Bowdoin’s campus. If you have any questions prior to your arrival at Bowdoin please call the Orientation Office at 207-798-7024, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Dean Laura Lee
Dean Lesley Levy
Dean Eric Morin
