Transfer Passage

Transfer Passage offers a dynamic orientation opportunity for transfer students as they transition their enrollment to Wheaton College. 

Transfer Passage is required for all new students to complete the one-credit Christ at the Core Holistic Human Flourishing course requirement.  They will form a supportive community with other transfer students to complete this course prior to the start of classes. Transfer Passage aims to meet the specific needs of transfers coming to Wheaton College.

We know that transferring during your undergraduate studies creates unique challenges. Transfer Passage provides the opportunity to get to know others who are transferring their enrollment to Wheaton College. Not only will we discuss the unique experience connected with transferring, but you will get to explore the liberal arts whole person formation that is critical to the Wheaton experience. 

Group of Wheaton Students in Beamer

The Transfer Passage weekend will take you right into the heart of being a Wheaton student. Transfers will participate in a range of discussions and activities with a small group of peers in order to integrate into the community as you start your Wheaton College experience.
