Orientation
The International Student Orientation is mandatory for all international / exchange students and will occur over a two-day period. This orientation is designed to familiarize students with our campus, to clarify what is expected of them while attending school in the U.S. and is a requirement by the U.S. federal government. All new international/exchange students are expected to attend, so make your travel plans such that your arrival in Whitewater is prior to the International Student Orientation date. A one-time $200 Orientation Fee will be charged to all new student accounts.
