FALL 2008
 
All newly arrived international students must attend the orientation programs coordinated by the Office of International Programs and Services (IPS) for the Fall and Spring Semesters. Immigration regulations require students to register their presence in the US within 30 days of the program start date listed on their immigration document (I-20/DS-2019). Registration takes place during orientation programs.
 
If your program has an irregular start date and begins during the academic year, you may not be able to participate in the IPS orientation program. In that case, you must visit IPS in person before the 30-day deadline to register your immigration documents with our office.
 
Orientation programs are designed to provide students with important information about immigration and visa regulations and IPS services. The orientation program also helps acquaint international students to the educational and cultural atmosphere at Western Carolina University and the surrounding communities/Asheville, and provide an opportunity to meet other new international students.
