New international students, both F-1 and J-1 visa, will also need to attend a required International Student Orientation where we welcome you to campus, discuss regulations for maintaining your visa status, introduce you to university life, campus culture, services and resources, and policies and procedures. More importantly, you will meet students, faculty, and staff and discover a whole new world!
