Orientation

Information for All Students

As new students at Yale, you will likely receive information about several different orientation programs. Certainly you will receive information about the orientation program organized by your school and/or department. It is critically important that you attend these programs. In addition, we encourage you to attend the orientation programs designed especially for international students. These programs will both introduce you to Yale’s amazing international community and to those programs and services that may help you with some of the special concerns you have arriving and settling into this new community.

All new international students must check in with the Office of International Students and Scholars as soon as you arrive in New Haven. New graduate and professional international students should come directly to OISS where we will provide you with information about OISS orientation activities and help answer other questions that may be of concern. New Yale College students will complete their OISS check-in as a part of the OIS program.
