Center for Student Success & Transition

The purpose of the Center for Student Success and Transition is to facilitate transition for undergraduate students and to provide intentional programming and services to enhance academic and co-curricular success from the point at which they join the Hamline community through the completion of their degrees.

This office offers a variety of programs, experiences and resources to fully engage first year students as they make their transition to the university. This office is home to Piper Preview, Piper Passages, Pathways to Hamline, FYSem Throwdown, and Pipers Going Places

For transfer students: 

This office is a centralized service to provide support in helping them understand their resources on campus, including transcript evaluation, financial aid awards, and general information about the transfer process. This office offers a series of programs throughout the year to help transfer students discover opportunities to enhance their remaining years at Hamline. This office is home to Piper Preview TRANSFERmation, Piper Passages TRANSFERmation, and the TRANSFERmation lunch series.

For sophomore students: 

This office supports the return of sophomore students to Hamline through a comprehensive co-curricular program to develop further students’ identity and purpose. Programming will support academic major selection, career decisions and will help students build greater and deeper connections with other students, faculty and staff.
