Pre-Arrival Webinar

Our Pre-Arrival Webinar for new international students at SRJC addresses things you should know before coming to the U.S.: the F-1 visa application and interview process, what to pack, arriving at the airport and immigration processing, transportation to SRJC, housing and dining options, and Welcome Week activities. These topics are not covered in the ISP Online Orientation or SRJC Orientation courses. You can watch the recording and access the slides from Fall 2024 below:
