International Student Orientation for summer session will be held May 6-11. Check back for further details on activities and important events.

Check-in

After you have arrived at Ohio University, you must register at our office in 15 Park Place to receive initial instructions. When you check in, you will be greeted by an International Student Advisor who will assist you with any questions or concerns that you may have. You must bring your passport, I-94, and your I-20 or DS-2019 with you to the office.  If you have brought family members with you, you must also bring their documents with you when you come to the office.

Temporary Housing

Temporary housing will be available for new students. Reservations are required. Contact Business & Residence Services. Go to http://www.facilities.ohiou.edu/housing/rs/index.html or email housing@ohio.edu for more information or to make a reservation.

MISSING DOCUMENTS

A few students have not yet received the I-20 or DS-2019. That is usually because the Admissions Office needs further documentation from you. Please take care of the missing papers and wait to receive your I-20 or DS-2019 before trying to come to Ohio University.

Things to Remember:


Have travelers’ checks in U.S. dollars for your immediate expenses.
