Students who come late have more difficulties with advising and registration. If for some reason you do arrive late, please report to the Office of New Student Programs, 1100 LSA Building, as soon as possible and we will help you as best we can. The office is open from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Program FeesThere is a $143.00 charge for the International Undergraduate Student Orientation program that will be included on your student account in September. Please do not send this fee in advance. If you participate in the Early Arrival Move-In program, there will be an additional charge for housing which will also be charged to your account. Student ID CardsThere will not be a scheduled time during the International Orientation program for students to get their MCard (University ID card). Students should go to the appropriate office before Orientation or during free time to get their ID. The Entreé Office located at 100 Student Activities Building (SAB) and on North Campus in the Pierpont Commons will issue these cards. All students living in Bursley Hall, Baits Housing, or off-campus in the North Campus area should use the North Campus Commons Entreé Office. All other students should use the office in the SAB. While there is no fee for the card, please note that you will have your picture taken at that time. Because ID cards allow you access to a number of facilities on campus, you will want to get your card soon after arriving on campus.
