International Student Orientation Schedule

General Information

• OISS's International Student Orientation is a program designed for all new international students (undergraduate, exchange and graduate) and attendance is mandatory.
• All new international students at UNH must attend OISS's International Student Orientation, even if you were previously a student at another U.S. educational institution.
• Prior to your arrival for the fall semester, you will be introduced to an Orientation Leader, a fellow UNH student who will be ready, willing and able to communicate with you and answer your many questions from a student's perspective.
• When you arrive, you will meet your Orientation Leader and spend your first few days with other new international students.
• OISS offers an abridged orientation for students arriving for the spring and summer semesters.
