Welcome International Exchanges!

International Exchanges are usually asked to arrive on campus 3-5 days prior to start of the semester for orientation purposes.  Specific dates are included in admission packets which are sent out to all of our exchange programs at the beginning of each academic semester.

Upon arrival, students are picked up from the airport and brought to their on-campus housing.   During their orientation, they are given a tour of the campus and its facilities, registered for classes and given a tour of the city.  They are also introduced to banking, immigration, and other relevant personnel.

On the final day, students attend a dinner where they are introduced to their student and family/faculty hosts who will host them for the semester or year.  The dinner gives them an opportunity to meet and learn about one another.

Throughout this orientation, most meals are covered. Exchange students will be billed $150 for this orientation. Further details are mailed to each student upon acceptance as a visiting student to Loyola College in Maryland.
