International Student Orientation

International Student Orientation includes information about:

• immigration rules and regulations that affect your visa status

• student health services and health insurance requirements at OSU

• academic life at OSU 

• campus and community resources

• opportunities to meet other new international and domestic students at OSU

• advising and registration

All new students will receive an email with instructions specific to their program. Check your personal and OSU email frequently to learn more about your specific program or student type orientation.

Students billed directly through OSU will have an orientation fee added to their student account to cover the cost of orientation. Students billed through INTO OSU, including first-year undergraduates with International Direct services, have this fee included in their tuition.

Make-up Orientation Session Schedule

All newly admitted international students are required to attend orientation and immigration document check-in. If you are not able to arrive in the US by the orientation date, please be sure to complete the International Student Orientation module in Canvas. Also, make sure to submit copies of your immigration documents in IP Connect. Please refer to the Late Arrivals Policy to determine if you will still be able to register for the term if you arrive late. Contact the International Student Orientation Team if you have questions.
