OPTIONAL: ARRANGE HOUSING
ON-CAMPUS HOUSING
A limited number of on-campus housing spaces are
available for transfer students. For more information
about available housing options, please visit the
University’s Housing & Residential Life website at
housing.umn.edu/transfer.
If you have any questions, please contact Housing &
Residential Life at www.housing.umn.edu.
OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
If you want to live off-campus in a house, room,
or apartment, Housing & Residential Life also has
information about privately-owned housing at
housing.umn.edu/offcampus. For listings of rental
vacancies in campus area neighborhoods— including
Dinkytown, Stadium Village, and West Bank—you also
may check the classified ads in the Minnesota Daily,
the student newspaper.
ATTEND ORIENTATION
After you submit your enrollment confirmation, you
will receive an invitation to orientation from your
college of admission. Orientation will be held in
the summer, and your college will be in contact with
you about the specific date.
If you have questions, reach out to Orientation &
Transition Experiences at 612-624-1979 or
oteinfo@umn.edu.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
ORIENTATION
International students are required to complete both
their New Global Gopher Required Tasks and
Transfer Orientation. More information on these two
requirements can be found in this guide on page 13.
International students should arrive approximately 10 days prior to the start of classes. Those who plan to live
off-campus should arrive three weeks before classes start to have sufficient time to search for housing.
Information for international students can be found next to the globe icon. P a g e 4
