Welcome!
We are excited to count you as a Mercerian! (Not sure what that means? Check out the link Guide to Speaking Mercerian to find out.) Transferring to Mercer may present challenges, but Orientation and Academic and Advising Services are here to help! Check the links to the right for vital information, resources, and helpful hints as you prepare to begin classes. As always, feel free to email or call with your questions. We look forward to meeting you!

Programs
New Mercerian Orientation offers two distinct programs for incoming transfer students. In July, we offer Summer Orientation, a half-day orientation to get your class schedule, and Bear Card, and complete other vital tasks before beginning at Mercer.

Then in August, on the day before classes begin, we offer Transfer Welcome Day, a time to celebrate your arrival at Mercer and connect with other transfer students, both new and those who previously transferred to Mercer.

Please note, both programs require registration. Please visit the web site for each program (located in the box to the right of this text) for registration information.
