International students are encouraged to attend both orientation and International Student Welcome. Visit the Orientation & Advising page for more information.
International Students are encouraged to visit both International Student Welcome and a New Student Orientation. There are several options, both on campus and virtual throughout the year. When you register for a New Student Orientation session you will be shown options that work with your visa type. It is recommended you review your schedule for International Student Welcome, before selecting a New Student Orientation session.
Attending International Student Welcome and checking in with International Student and Scholar Services ensures that your student immigration status is electronically verified and activated as required by federal immigration regulations.
