Attend orientation: CLIMB

Four weeks before your semester begins, we will invite you to join CLIMB, our orientation for new international students. Get live sessions, drop-ins, and check-ins, and get info about important things that you need to know.

We strongly recommend that you attend these sessions, as we will be sharing information that you need to know.
