On February 16, 17, 18 or 19 – attend a 18JAV class, tour campus, have lunch in our dining center, and spend the night in a residence hall. This is a great way for students looking to transfer to 18JAV, and their families, to see all that the institution has to offer.

Our Transfer Students Agree...

We've connected with many transfer students to get feedback on their transition to 18JAV. We're proud to say that they've given us very high marks!
