FIRST YEAR INTERNATIONAL (FYI) LEARNING HUB

OIA offers a series of pre-arrival programming for incoming international students called First Year International (FYI) on a variety of immigration, practical, social and academic topics.

Information is introduced in the FYI Learning Hub throughout summer. We are offering a number of live Zoom sessions to learn with OIA on important topics and meet other incoming new students. Find the meeting schedule, check out the topics, watch recordings, view content, and interact in the FYI Learning Hub. The embedded online discussion board allows you to ask questions and socialize with peers as well. We hope you join now to access all the info and resources for new international students and check back for updates as Fall approaches!
