International Student Orientation


Prior to New Student Orientation, which is open to all students, International Student Orientation (ISO) caters specifically to newly arrived international students to help you settle into your new home. This orientation provides important information about your visa, the Korean health insurance system, banking, Korean culture, your acculturation to Korea, and more.

Date: August 19, 2022 / 12pm to 6pm
Location: TBD
Lunch will be provided.

During ISO, you’ll meet UAC staff and other international students, learn about practical resources and aspects of Korean culture, and more.

Before classes start, our International Student Diplomats will take you on a tour of campus and the local neighborhood.

After classes start, our Immigration Specialist will arrange for all new international students to visit the immigration office to apply for their Resident Card. You will receive more information via email.
