An orientation program designed specifically for International Students studying at Marywood is held on the first day of classes of the spring semester. Airport pickups can be arranged for Sunday, January 8, 2012 between the hours of noon and 11:00 pm by contacting the International Affairs office at International@Marywood.edu at least one week before the semester begins. It is NOT advised that students arrive on campus before this date as many services will not be available, including dining.

International Student OrientationOrientaton for the Spring 2012 term will take place on Monday, January 9 (see schedule below).

The program is offered through the International Affairs Office.  Included in the program will be:

  • tours of the campus
  • schedule advisement
  • banking information
  • shopping trips for essentials
  • introductions to a number of departments and individuals, i.e., Student Health Services, Security, Counseling and Human Resources.

 

There will be an opportunity to explore the campus and the surrounding community.  We request that all international students will make the effort to arrive early enough to take part in this program. For those students who will be living on campus, please inform us of your arrival date so that we can request early arrival housing through the Office of Residence Life.

Students beginning their study in August are asked to contact the International Affairs office prior to arrival.
