International Advising

Incoming Students

Whether you’re an international student enrolled in an exchange program or admitted to Union's full-time undergraduate program, there are many preparations to make before you arrive on campus.

Although your other responsibilities closely align with those of the U.S. students, please take note:

International orientation

All incoming international and exchange students must attend the mandatory International orientation that takes place a few days before the general First Year Orientation. All first year students including international students will participate in First Year Orientation.

For the 2023-2024 academic year, the International Student Orientation will be held on September 1 - September 2, 2023. You must arrive on campus on either Wednesday, August 30 or Thursday, August 31.
