International Orientation
There are two different International Orientations. For
new students coming for the Fall Semester, they should attend
the August Orientation. For new students coming in the Spring
Semester, they should attend the January Orientation.
For new students, it is strongly encouraged that you attend
orientation, look through the Incoming Student Page and
the International Handbook, and ask any questions that you
have!
Schedule may change! Check your welcome

January Orientation
January 2009 International Orientation will take place
on Friday, January 9th. There are usually only a few new
international students in January so the orientation program
is only one day. We will do most of the same things that
are done in the August Orientation. The complete orientation
schedule will be posted in December 2008.
