Orientation
All new international scholars must meet with their International Advisor for an orientation session soon after their arrival. Topics covered include: information about the area, immigration laws and responsibilities, safety, and health insurance. Visitors are also "checked in" during the orientation for immigration purposes.
Your International Advisor will email you before your program start to arrange for an orientation session. If you do not receive an email before your arrival, please first check your junk mail and then email [email protected].
