    FALL 2024

    All international students must attend one Immigration Essentials Session after completing the electronic Check-In.

    All the sessions scheduled for Fall 2024 (eight for graduate students during the month of August; one for undergraduates during Fall Orientation AND a late session for both at the end of the second week of classes) have been offered.
