International Student Orientation (ISO)

International Student Orientation (ISO) is a pre-orientation program sponsored by ISSS for all new and transfer degree-seeking University of Miami international students in F-1 and J-1 status. ISO is not intended for Study Abroad Program exchange students, as they will have their own orientation session hosted separately through the Office of Study Abroad.

ISO is held at the beginning of each semester (August and January) and complements campus-wide orientation programs for incoming students by providing them with information and experiences that will assist in their transition to living and studying in the U.S. ISO is a wonderful opportunity for students to make new friends from around the world and get to know the ISSS team!
