The Office of International Students and Scholars sponsors orientation programs
in fall and winter of each academic year for all new international students. The
fall orientation program extends over a three-day period. The fall orientation sessions
inform you how to be successful in the UCSB academic environment, introduce you
to key people on the campus who will be of assistance, and give you a chance to
meet other international students. Orientation is both informational and social!
Not only will you obtain important information about how to maintain lawful immigration
status as well as regulations governing permission to work, but you will also have
fun meeting new people and making friends.
