Find What You're Looking For During Transfer Student Week
HSU’s transfer student population continues to increase, and for the first time, this fall there are more incoming transfer students than incoming freshmen.
Are you a transfer student? You've been successful in college before, but may need some assistance navigating HSU. Tranfer Student Week is October 18-22 — we hope you'll check out resources and 20+ online SkillShops to learn more, ask questions and expand your connections throughout HSU.
At Humboldt State, we encourage you to pursue your interests and follow your own path — in the classroom and beyond.
Our Shared Responsibilities
The HSU Social Responsibility Commitment is our campus community’s promise to protect ourselves and one another by preventing the spread of illness and helping maintain an on-campus experience.
Every member of HSU’s community has a personal responsibility to ensure the University provides a safe and healthy environment.
Please reflect on the HSU Social Responsibility Commitment and the instructions each HSU community member is asked to follow. You must do your part to protect the health and wellbeing of our campus community.
