National Transfer Student Week

National Transfer Student Week

 The University of Houston-Downtown is joining universities around the country in celebrating National Transfer Student Week (NTSW), which strives to recognize and bring awareness to the experience and journey of our transfer students. From October 21–25, we are hosting a series of events and opportunities for UHD transfer students to connect with other transfer students, learn about the resources and support services available here, and celebrate life as a Gator. Check out the events listed below for how you can get involved.

In addition to all the events listed below, we have a range of events and opportunities for students thinking about transferring to UHD. Learn more about how prospective transfer students can get involved with UHD during NTSW at www.uhd.edu/transferstudents or www.uhd.edu/ATA.

Celebrating Transfer Students

ATA Kick-off 2022

This year's theme is:
"Unlocking Potential: Keys to the Transfer Journey."

"This year’s theme celebrates the wealth of skills, knowledge, and perspectives that transfer students bring to our campuses. It recognizes they possess their own unique ''keys'—their problem-solving skills and adaptability, diverse lived experiences, and connections to community—and are motivated to achieve their goals." - NISTS

See the NTSW calendar below for events.
