UML Home >   Smart Start Orientation > For Transfer & Re-Admitted Students Printer Friendly Printer Friendly

All of the Smart Second Start Programs are one-day programs. Transfer Students should plan to reserve the whole day (8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.).  Please make arrangements now to reserve the time on the day you come. Re-admitted students have a much shorter program, but are welcome to participate in any part of the transfer program, especially if you have been out of school for a while.  Remember, if you have already met with your advisor and registered for classes, you are still required to attend orientation to receive other important information about UML!

To learn how to register, please go to: Smart Start Orientation.


Required Documents:

Proof of Health Insurance: Massachusetts State Law requires that all students attending the University have health insurance. The University is currently evaluating its process to apply/waive health insurance. For complete information, please check the Accounts Receivable website.

Medical Records: Health Services needs complete records at the beginning of the fall semester. If you have not sent records earlier, bring them to orientation. State law requires such records and failure to have them will block future registrations for classes.

Course Information: Bring as much information as possible concerning courses completed at prior institutions. These include transcripts, grade reports from the most recent semester, course descriptions and syllabi and transfer evaluations from the UML Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Remember, official transcripts must be sent directly to Admissions.

Personal Items You Should Bring:

  • Casual clothes appropriate for the weather
  • Comfortable shoes for walking

Guest Policy

Do not plan to have visitors or guests during orientation. After check-in, no one other than students registered for the program will be allowed to attend orientation. It is a special time for you to meet other students.
