UNCW’s Office of International Students and Scholars organizes an orientation for all new international first-year, transfer and graduate students every fall and spring semester. This mandatory orientation welcomes, prepares, and engages international students as they adjust to life at UNCW. At orientation, students become familiar with their new surroundings and are told about opportunities and resources both on and off campus. Students learn about important immigration regulations and make friends with other new and returning students. See the International Student Orientation schedule below
