Orientation for new International Students will be held beginning on Sunday January 10th and Monday January 11th.   International Student Orientation is mandatory for all new students in F-1 and J-1 student status.  This includes transfer students and students from Canada.  Please plan to arrive on campus no later than Saturday January 9th so that you can attend the orientation.

The orientation on Sunday will be held at the International Centre and is just for international students and their families.  On Monday, we ask students to go to either the graduate orientation or the undergraduate orientation during the first part of the day.  Then, at 2:30 we will all come together one more time to review additional information about your status.   All orientation activities will be finished in time for you to get to a 4:00 p.m. class if you have one.
