Fall 2022 International Student Orientation
Friday, September 2, 2022 (online/virtual)
8:30 — 10:30 a.m. (PST)
The International Student Orientation is mandatory for all new international students to attend.
This virtual session is tailored for you as a new international student and will cover everything from effective transition tools and academic integrity, to student basics, study permits, and health insurance.
