Part I: Pre-arrival Orientation

The pre-arrival orientation videos will introduce a variety of important topics for new international students, including immigration regulations, health insurance, and recognizing and avoiding scams. All new students are required to watch these videos as they cover important information you must know to maintain your immigration status and be successful at 黑料视频.  Ideally, new students would complete these pre-arrival videos before they attend the in-person orientation. 

In an effort to make the best use of your time, this self-paced series of short videos can be viewed in less than one hour.  

You can watch the pre-arrival orientation videos on .  Make sure to scroll down the page to the 鈥淢y Courses鈥 section and click on the 鈥満诹鲜悠 International Student Orientation鈥 link. These videos should be watched before the in-person programming on Thursday, January 16.
