International Student Orientation
International Students will need to attend two orientations. The AGSM new student orientation and the International Student Orientation (ISO). ISO is designed specifically for international students and will cover important information about your immigration and SEVIS status, employment opportunities, academic success in the U.S., and other cross-cultural information. These items are not covered in AGSM Student Orientation which is why all international students are required to attend ISO. Attending ISO is mandatory for all international students and fees will be applied to the student’s bill. Visit the International Student Orientation page for more information and to register:
