"Breathe, it gets better!
Even though the start may be a little confusing." - Raine

We're glad you're here! Each year hundreds of students with hard-earned transfer credits come to Trent to complete an undergraduate degree. In fact, roughly one in four new students is a transfer student. Whether you went to college, another university, or both, and regardless of how long ago that was, you bring unique skills and knowledge to this community. Explore the topics below to get started.
