Welcome, transfer students! We get it—you already know the ropes and understand what it’s like to be a college student. Still, every campus is different, and we want to ensure you receive any support you may need during your transition to Hamline.

Our staff is here to help you navigate a new campus with new policies, procedures, and culture. We can answer questions about your transfer credits, financial aid, and academic advising and help you jump into life at Hamline.
