Transfer Connections is a voluntary mentoring program for new LSA transfer students for the Fall or Winter terms. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until spaces are filled. All LSA transfer students for either Fall or Winter terms who have paid their University of Michigan Enrollment Deposit will receive an email inviting them to apply to the program.

*Extensions available by requests. Applicants will receive a status announcement 3-4 weeks after submission; early application is encouraged.
What to Know
- Selection is not automatic
- Applying is the only way to be considered for acceptance
- Applying to this program does not assist with transfer credits
- Transfer Connections is a different program from Transfer Orientation, participating in one does not require the other.
- Students should complete their own applications/should not complete on behalf of others
- Applications are a snapshot of your experiences and should clearly explain why you would like a mentor
