Attend Orientation and Get Involved

International Orientation

International Orientation is required for all new students. We review immigration regulations, introduce you to people across the campus, and give you a tour of UWF. It is a chance to make new friends and be welcomed to your new university home. During orientation, you will receive your Nautilus card (student ID), have the opportunity to learn more about purchasing a cell phone and opening a bank account, schedule a time to complete your required International Programs check-in, and receive a campus tour. You will be assigned to a small group led by one of our Student Orientation Assistants (SOA). This will allow you to make connections with other students, receive personalized answers to your questions, and get the most out of your orientation.


Get Involved with Global Quarter 

At International Orientation, you will meet students from UWF Global Quarter. UWF Global Quarter is our community of UWF students who are focused on global citizenship. Throughout the year, Global Quarter hosts events to promote cultural understanding and interests that move students, domestic and abroad, to “engage the world”.
