Additional Programs
Access Hamline is a four week extended orientation program for new transfer students, held every other Thursday during Convo Hour (11:30 am-12:30 pm). These sessions are a great opportunity to reconnect with your TNSM and orientation small group, as well as a way to learn about more of the offices, services, and programs Hamline has to offer.
New Student Throwdown is a challenge competition between FYSems and Transfer student small groups during your first semester at Hamline. By attending these events, you and your friends earn points for your FYSem or Transfer student small groups. At the end of the semester, the groups with the most points wins a night on the town, including limo service, and dinner or a movie.
If you have questions about the events, please ask your New Student Mentor.
