Services include individual academic counseling, applicant follow-up, and serve as a point of contact for counselors and staff at community college.

Transition Thursdays
Pre transfer students get the answers to transfer questions and more on the  first at 1:00 PM and third Thursday at 1:30 PM of each month until 4:00 PM during Transition Tuesdays Program at Wilder Tower, Room 101. Representatives from the Office of Academic Transfer and Articulation  will be available to answer any other questions prospective students might have. After the tour, Advisors in undergraduate academic services will be available for a brief advising session to help with your academic plans.  Students may bring an unofficial copy of their transcript for each college attended. The adviser will not be able to do an evaluation of all transfer credits, but will be able to look over the record and perhaps recommend courses to take before you transfer. The advisers in Undergraduate Academic Services are familiar with the admission and graduation requirements of all U of M majors and can help students consider options.  Click here to make a reservation.
