Orientation Registration Fall 2022
Welcome, New Students!
Get Ready to Make Your Mark at FDU
Register for Orientation - August 24, 2022
We are excited to welcome you to FDU! All international students must check-in with ISS no later than 10 days from their official start of academic activities. Check-in provides the ISS the opportunity to:
- Review your visa status documents
- Report the arrival of FDU sponsored F-1 and J-1 students invalid status to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, thus activating your SEVIS record;
- Help you get settled on campus and answer your questions as you begin your activities at FDU; and
- Ensure that all students are added to email lists that provide valuable visa-status-related information, including travel advisories, workshops, tax information, and events, throughout the year.
Please complete your initial check-in to avoid jeopardizing your legal visa status in the U.S., and contact us with any questions concerning your visa status or your adjustment to FDU.
