If you’re ready to commit to SSU, here is a special perk. Transfer Students who accept their offer of admission, pay their deposit, and register for "Decision Day Orientation 2026" via their MySSU by TBD, 2026, will be able to participate in a special version of Seawolf Decision Day that includes new student orientation and lunch in The Kitchens. Why is this so special? During the event, you will meet with academic advisors and register for Fall 2026  classes before any other incoming students. That is HUGE and gives you a great head-start on your future at SSU! Plus, Transfer Students who complete Orientation at Seawolf Decision Day will have fulfilled their Orientation requirement and will not need to attend Orientation in June.
 

 

Note: Regardless of whether you register for your Fall 2026 classes during Orientation at Seawolf Decision Day or later during Orientation in June, the payment deadline is the same - TBD, 2026.
 

 

For questions related to this special perk or about NOMA Nation Orientation please contact Zach from the Orientation team no later than TBD, 2026. You can reach Zach by email at [email protected] or call (707) 664-4464.
