International Graduate Student Orientation - Fall 2025

This schedule is tentative and subject to change. All sessions will be available in person and livestreamed, with the exception of meals and social/community building events.

A full schedule will also be available on the BrownU app in August. Social and community-building events will be announced and open for registration by early August. Registration for All-Student Orientation is required; please see your email for instructions.

Prior to International Orientation, newly arrived students in Initial F-1 or J-1 status will need to complete and submit the “New Student Registration” request on the Requests and Documents Tab within their OISSS Gateway account to activate their F-1 or J-1 SEVIS record to maintain valid F/J Immigration status.
