Signature Programs
Transfer Welcome Day: Hosted during the Week of Welcome (WOW) at the beginning of each semester, Transfer
Welcome Day aims to prepare transfer students for their first semester at USF St.
Petersburg campus. Transfer Welcome Day offers spaces for students to directly ask
staff members any questions they need the answers to in order to have a successful
semester. COMPASS staff will also lead discussions surrounding topics on how to prepare
for the upcoming semester.
Transfer Connections: Join us for Transfer Connection once a month to meet other transfer students, learn about USF St. Petersburg campus, and more! Be sure to register for a BullsConnect account to learn more.
Learning Journeys: Learning Journeys are faculty- or staff-led activities, focusing on an academic specialty,
hobby, or interest of the faculty or staff member. Geared towards second-year and
transfer students, Learning Journeys provide an opportunity for students to learn
more about potential career paths while getting to know faculty and staff outside
of the classroom.
Go for the Gold Workshop Series: The COMPASS Go for the Gold workshop series will provide Bulls with all the tools
they need to succeed. With specific tracks for first-year, second-year, and transfer
students, Bulls will have personalized support in a workshop format. Through this
series, we will cover topics that support students' academic, professional, and personal
growth. Be a Bull. Take Charge. Go for the Gold!
