Transfer-Year Experience
Transfer-Year Experience
The Transfer-Year Experience (TYE) Program is a self-selected living option that connects new transfer residents with the services and resources that are relevant to their current needs. The program focuses on cultivating students’ sense of belonging, well-being, and academic achievement through a variety of activities. Our mission is to equip transfer students with the blueprint for success during their time at Georgia Tech!
How to Participate
How to Participate

The Transfer-Year Experience Program is available to students who transfer to Georgia Tech in the summer or fall semesters.  New summer and fall transfer students can select the Transfer-Year Experience when applying for Academic Year housing!  There is no fee to participate, and students will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority for students in the following Pathway Programs: Atlanta Public Schools, First-Generation, and Talent Initiative. Students will be added to the waitlist when the TYE Program reaches capacity. 

Students with active applications (who are not on the waitlist) and who are unable to be placed in the Transfer-Year Experience will be notified and provided the opportunity to live elsewhere on campus.
