Customize Your Transfer Quest Experience
We know every transfer student’s journey is unique — that’s why we’ve designed three
flexible Transfer Quest options to fit your schedule and goals.
Morning Session: 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Afternoon Session: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Full-Day Session: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Whether you want to get in, get your business taken care of, and get going with a half-day session, or immerse yourself fully in the Highlander experience with our full-day program (similar to the First-Year Quest), the choice is yours.
No matter which option you choose, you’ll connect with campus resources, meet other transfer students, and start your Radford University journey with confidence and community!
The Quest orientation program is thoughtfully designed to warmly welcome incoming students, families, and supporters, ensuring a smooth transition to Radford University. Our goal is to address all of your questions and concerns as a new student while fostering a genuine sense of belonging within the Highlander community.
