Orientation Information

All new international students (F-1 and J-1 visa holders) are required to participate in the International Student Orientation (ISO) program. The ISO program is mandatory for ALL new exchange students, graduates, undergraduates, transfers, and sponsored students whether you are arriving in the United States for the first time or you are transferring from another U.S. school.

All new international students (F-1 and J-1 visa holders) will be assessed a $125 international orientation fee regardless of their attendance.

At the orientation, we will provide you with important information about campus, health insurance requirements, and other matters pertaining to your status as an international student in the United States. In addition, students will be able to participate in some optional activities, including excursions into the wider community and a shopping trip.
