Held during the summer months to communicate with inquiries and applicants, our chats give you the opportunity to speak with a Transfer Admissions Counselor and fellow perspective students. See our events calendar to register.

Transfer Student Services
Office of Transfer Student Services (TSS) provides extensive guidance and advisement to accepted transfer students as they transition to St. John’s University.  Academic Advisors will schedule one-one-one meetings with students in order to discuss potential transfer credits, various course recommendations and registration for the upcoming semester.  In addition, TSS is a gateway to the support services and departments across campus, including the academic deans’ offices.  An advisor is always available to answer your questions via e-mail, phone, or by stopping by the Lourdes Hall office.
