Plan to attend the mandatory International Student Orientation. The Orientation addresses international student issues, such as immigration, work and travel, American academic culture and expectations, English language skills, health care and insurance, cultural adjustment, and American practices and traditions. Morning snacks and lunch will be served each day. -- See link in right-hand column for a tentative schedule of events.

In addition to attending the International Student Orientation, you are strongly urged to attend the the Graduate Student Orientation or the Undergraduate Student Orientation where you will have the opportunity to meet American students, as well as Gannon faculty and staff. You will also, in supplement to the issues addressed in the international student orientation, learn about using Gannon's information technologies, library, and support services available to all students.
