New International Students

Welcome, your journey at the University of Memphis begins here. Review this page for all relevant information about you as a new international student, such as the I-20 process and getting insurance! 

Spring Orientation for international students will be held Wednesday, 09 January 2019, from 12:00 noon to 3:45 PM in the Meeman Journalism Building Auditorium room 100. 

Attendance at International Student Orientation is mandatory for all new and transfer F-1 international students. Please bring your Passport/Visa and signed I-20 with you to the orientation. Light refreshments will be served. 

Although people with other visa categories are always welcome, be aware that the focus for most of these Orientation presentations will be for F-1 visa holders. We will address registration & enrollment, on-campus employment & social security, and federal compliance issues with a particular focus on the needs of international students who either have the F-1 visa or who are holding F-1 status.

Please continue to watch this page for updates, a schedule of speakers, and other International Orientation news as we gain more details.
