When is the New International Student Orientation Program for Spring Semester?
We ask all international students to arrive by January 3 and stay for the entire duration of the orientation activities. All new international students are required to attend the International Student Orientation, scheduled from January 3 to January 8. The events, sessions, and activities planned for these two weeks are specifically designed to help international students adjust to life in the United States and within the Penn State community. You will go through a document check-in process with the University Office of Global Programs, where a variety of important paperwork must be filled out. You will also learn a great deal of valuable information at the various sessions. In addition, we have many fun social activities planned that will help you make friends and build relationships. A full schedule of Orientation events will be made available on our website by December 15. Please check here on that date: http://www.global.psu.edu/international_students/orientation.cfm.
