Communications and Resources
Canvas
The Office of Student Transition Experiences utilizes class year specific canvas pages to help keep students in the know. These pages highlight upcoming opportunities and events. Additionally, our Resources at NU Guide lives on those pages. If you are looking for support here at Northwestern but are unsure on where to go, this is a great place to start. Visit Canvas to explore this website.
If you do not see a "Class of 20XX + Transfers" canvas site, or you need to change which class year you have access to, please email transition@northwestern.edu.
Emails
Twice quarterly, the Office of Student Transition Experiences sends out emails to students during their first three years at Northwestern. These emails contain upcoming dates, events, opportunities and resources that are time relevant to the student transition experience each year.
New Student Guidebook
Welcome to Northwestern University from the Office of Student Transition Experiences! We support undergraduate students by connecting them to people and resources to help them thrive while transitioning to and through Northwestern University. This guide was created with input from previous students to shed insight to restaurants, grocery stores, things to do and more in Evanston & Chicago while you get settled. While this guide doesn’t cover everything, it’s a jumping off point. Check it out below!
