International Students and Scholars
Orientation
Orientation Week is scheduled for August 11-16, 2008. All new students for the Fall 2008 term must arrive in Carbondale by August 11, 2008. Orientation prepares new students for many aspects of life in the United States, in Carbondale, and at SIUC. During orientation week, we will provide valuable information including required immunizations, health insurance, tips for adjusting to your new cultural and academic environments, opening a bank account, U.S. Income Taxes, housing, and many other issues. In addition, we have planned events that will provide you with the opportunity to have fun, get familiar with your new environment, and make new friends. We are currently planning the Fall 2008 Orientation activities. Below is a tentative schedule. You will receive a copy of the final schedule when you arrive. We look forward to seeing you in Carbondale.
