Transfer Illini Day

Transfer Illini Day You’ve made the transition to one institution already. Is the thought of transitioning to another weighing on you? Are you nervous about the size of Illinois? Do you want a jumpstart on settling into your new college home? Transfer Illini Day is a visit experience that will answer those questions and so many more! What is Transfer Illini Day? This is a day to celebrate our admitted transfer students. Any transfer student who is admitted for Summer 2020 or Fall 2020 is invited to attend. You will receive an email sent to the Illinois address you used during the application process with all the details. If you attend, you will be joined by 300-400 other admitted transfer students. This means you can begin developing friendships months before enrolling at Illinois! What will your day look like? Your day will start with a resource fair where you can talk to different campus activities and offices. Take an optional morning tour to stretch your legs after a long drive, if you wish! Then, you will hear an admissions presentation focusing on your next steps as a new Illinois student. After this presentation, youll meet with an advisor from your academic department, so make sure you have your questions ready! Lunch on your own follows. You can choose to eat in the Ikenberry Dining Hall, a perfect preview of on-campus living if youre interested. Otherwise, you can explore some options in the Illini Union or check out some of the restaurants on Green Street. The afternoon is yours to customize. You can meet with our admissions staff, visit one of our 8 cultural centers, take a tour of Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, or anything in between. There will be a full list of possibilities when you receive your agenda in the morning. Where and when is it? Transfer Illini Day take place on Friday, April 17, 2020 from 8:30 to 4:00 p.m. and is located at the Illini Union, as well as other campus hotspots. Transfer Illini Day is like an all-encompassing visit experience to help you further explore your future as an Illini. We are so excited to have you on campus, and cant wait to be there for you throughout your Illinois experience!
