Transfer Pre-Orientation Program (T-POP)

The Transfer Pre-Orientation Program (T-POP) is a day of activities designed to help newly admitted App State transfer students find the answers to their questions and prepare for their upcoming orientation session.

Participation in T-POP is entirely free!

Those who chose to attend T-POP in addition to Orientation will be able to: 

  • gain access to course registration and advising ahead of other incoming students, giving you a head start on getting into the course sections of your choice
  • meet other transfer students 
  • connect with various campus partners to ask questions
  • have their enrollment deposit rolled into your first-semester tuition bill to allow for financial aid to cover this cost if applicable.
