New International Student Orientation Program

Every semester, UOGP provides a comprehensive New International Student Orientation Program. The orientation program typically covers necessary procedures for registration, employment, paying bills, as well as other regulatory and academic matters. The New International Student Orientation Program is also the perfect time to make new friends and discover more about Penn State and the surrounding community. Social and cultural activities are held throughout the program. If you have questions, contact the Program Coordinator in the Directorate of Global Relations and Promotion within UOGP, at orientation@ip.psu.edu or learn more on the Orientation Blog.

All incoming international students, whether new or transfer students, are highly encouraged to attend the New International Student Orientation Program. Family members are also welcome to attend all the orientation events.
