Please make sure to inform the International Admissions Coordinator of your travel plans and arrival information.
Immediately upon arrival, you should plan to contact the International Admissions Coordinator and arrange an appointment to meet. This can be no later than the date specified on your I-20 form.
During the week prior to the start of classes you will attend an orientation session with other international students to become familiar with the campus and its resources. You will also need to take the placement test on that day and bring in all your visa documents, if you have not yet done so.
