Spartan Start for Transfer Students

Fall 2026 Spartan Start for Transfer Students

 Welcome to the University of Dubuque family! We are excited to have you join us. Spartan Start is designed to help you successfully continue your college journey at the University of Dubuque through campus-specific training and support. We highly recommend attending all Spartan Start programming to ensure your success here at UD and to make connections with other new transfer students. 

Fall transfer students have the option of participating in the full two-day Spartan Start program on Monday and Tuesday, August 24-25, or selecting the one-day option on Tuesday, August 25. Not sure which option to choose? Reach out and we can help you decide which program will best meet your needs.
