Arrival & Orientation

Mandatory Orientation and Visa Check-in

Important Notice:

As an international student, your attendance at this orientation session is required.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires student visa holders to register with your college before beginning classes in the United States.

In order to help you with this requirement, each college has prepared an F-1 Compliance Seminar for International Students.

Although you will be invited or required to attend a variety of orientation programs, the F-1 Compliance Seminar and Check-in with International Student Services is designed specifically to address the needs of international students.

You must bring both the originals and photocopies of the following documents:

• I-20 (for F-1 visa holders) or DS-2019 (for J-1 visa holders)
• Passport (ISS needs copies of your identity and expiry pages and the visa stamp)
• I-94 card
