CI for International Students

If you are an international student, please plan to attend International Student Orientation Tuesday & Wednesday, August 26-27, followed by Fall CI Thursday - Friday, August 28-29. Both programs will address specific needs and questions you may have as you join the GW community. Please plan to join us on Thursday and Friday for continued fun at CI!

Once you arrive on campus this fall, you must come into the Welcome Center at the International Services Office (ISO) for a mandatory immigration check-in process. During this time, ISO staff will collect your immigration documents to ensure that you are legally ready to begin your studies and will create a file for you that will be maintained throughout your studies at GW.
