Transitions Conference

The Transitions Conference is a half-day orientation that takes place the Saturday afternoon before Monday classes begin.

  • This orientation provides detailed information about the General Education Program and how to declare majors and/or minors. 
  • You will have the opportunity to speak to a Financial Aid representative and our Director of Student Accounts. 
  • Finally, time is allowed for transfer students to engage in an interactive Q and A session with the orientation team before picking up SUNY Potsdam I.D. cards, parking decals, textbooks and taking a campus tour.
