International Student Orientation

The International Student Orientation is mandatory for all international students studying with an F-1 or J-1 student visa. This includes international freshmen, returning students, transfer students, graduate students, and students returning to school after OPT or STEM OPT.

Our International Student Orientation is thoughtfully designed to provide new international students with essential information about WOU. We cover everything from WOU’s policies and procedures to campus facilities, life in the United States, the charming City of Monmouth, and valuable local resources. Participation in this orientation is crucial for all new and transfer international students.
