AARO: Transfer students

AARO is the first part of the orientation process designed to assist you in making a comfortable transition to life at SMU. Transfer AARO is a one-day orientation program for students with 30 or more transferable hours who will be enrolling in Fall 2009.  Programs provide academic requirements and expectations, campus resources, involvement opportunities and the chance to meet current students.  During your AARO session, you will also meet one-on-one with an academic advisor and register for fall classes. Check-in for AARO will begin at 8:00 a.m. in the main level of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center.  

You cannot register for orientation until your admission deposit is paid, and your final transcript from previous colleges and universities has been received and processed by the Division of Enrollment Services.  This process takes a minimum of two weeks.

Bring The Family!

We encourage all family members to attend AARO. In addition to attending some of the academic sessions with your students, we have planned some specific activities for parents and families.
