International Student Orientation 2011: An Archway to UGA

ISL organizes an international student orientation each semester for new and transfer international students matriculating to the University of Georgia. The information included in the ISL orientations is not covered by any other orientation program on campus. The spring and summer orientations are a one-day event and the fall orientation is a five-day program. Highlights from ISL’s orientation schedules include information concerning immigration issues, taxes for non-residents, cross-cultural adjustment, housing assistance, course registration procedures, Social Security Cards, UGA payroll, and campus tours. Current UGA students serve as orientation leaders (called World Leaders) to assist with each international orientation session.

Greetings from International Student Life at the University of Georgia! Congratulations on your acceptance to UGA. We hope you find the following information helpful as you prepare to enter UGA in the fall of 2011. We are excited to meet you!
