International Students

Instructions
As you prepare to join the Kutztown University community, it is important that you understand US immigration requirements and availability of campus services. International students will be required to complete both an online new student orientation program, and attend the in-person international student orientation the week before classes begin. The first online orientation will give you a general overview of important details associated with life at Kutztown University, while your in-person international orientation will focus on essential information on maintaining your valid F-1 or J-1 nonimmigrant status while in the United States.
As a reminder, all F-1 & J-1 international students with a new SEVIS document from KU must complete a mandatory Immigration Check-In and International Student Orientation with Dr. Lacey Wismer upon arrival in the United States!
