International Student Orientation
To prepare you for a successful academic journey at Lehigh University, the Office of International Students & Scholars has designed an informative and fun orientation program prior to the beginning of each semester. Although the Orientation is not mandatory, we highly encourage your participation as you will be learning important immigration regulations pertaining to international students, academic and health issues as well as tips from current international students on making the best out of your Lehigh experience.
