    INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ORIENTATION - FALL 2012

    The International Centre will be hosting two mandatory Orientation events this year:

    1. International Student Orientation for Undergraduate students will be held on August 30-31-September 1, 2012.  All new international students at the undergraduate level are required to attend this event.

    2. A separate International Student Orientation for Graduate Students will be held on September 4 and 5, 2012.  All new international students at the graduate level are required to attend this event.  Graduate students will also be asked to participate in a mandatory workshop on September 14 and 15, 2012.

    Orientation provides new international and exchange students with a solid foundation for living in Halifax, studying at Dalhousie, and making the most of their time abroad. It provides the opportunity for students to learn about the services and resources provided by Dalhousie, meet new friends, and enjoy fun activities.

    Please share this information with your incoming international students, staff and colleagues.  Registration for these events will open in late April at <dal.ca/international>
