International Student Webinars & Welcome Events

 

As you prepare to join the University of Rochester community, it is important that you understand US immigration requirements and availability of campus services. The International Services Office Welcome Webinars are designed to provide essential information on maintaining your valid F-1 or J-1 nonimmigrant status while in the United States, as well as other important details about life at the University and in Rochester. Your participation in these webinars is designed to coincide with your matriculation at UR, both before, during, and following your arrival at the University. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your way to become a University of Rochester international student!

ALL students should begin their process of preparing for their international travel by reading the Incoming International Students webpage on the ISO website.

As a reminder, all F-1 & J-1 international students with a new SEVIS document from UR must complete a mandatory Immigration Check-In with the ISO upon arrival in the United States!

 

International Student Webinars

The International Services Office (ISO) is pleased to offer new UR international students helpful information about life in the U.S. and on-campus prior to arrival in Rochester!

These sessions will not replace the Orientation Programs offered by your respective schools and are designed to enhance the programs that your respective schools will be hosting throughout the summer and into the fall.
