International Student Orientations

International Student Orientation is intertwined with Huskies First Four, SCSU's new student orientation. Undergraduate students will follow the Huskies First Four schedule when not taking part in International Student Orientation scheduled events.

Graduate student orientation is managed by Graduate Studies and Center for International Studies. There are several differences from the undergraduate student schedule. Orientation for international students learning English is managed by the Intensive English Center.
