Orientation
All newly arrived international students must attend the orientation programs coordinated by the Center for International Students and Programs for the Fall and Spring Semesters. Immigration regulations require students to register their presence in the U.S. within 30 days of the program start date listed on their immigration document (I-20/DS-2019). Registration takes place during the orientation program.
If your program has an irregular start date and begins during the academic year, you may not be able to participate in regularly scheduled orientation program. In that case, you must visit The Center for International Students and Programs in person before the 30-day deadline to register your immigration documents with our office.
Orientation program is designed to provide students with important information about immigration and visa regulations and International Center services. The orientation program also helps acquaint international students with the educational and cultural activities at RCC and the community, and provides an opportunity to meet other new international students.
