Orientation for International Students
Orientation is mandatory for all new international students, and you'll have the opportunity to get your questions answered, find information and resources, and make sure you're all set to begin attending your classes.
If you are a new international student, use the International Student Portal to reserve a seat for orientation, then choose your campus location and date.
During on-campus orientation, you will:
- Meet other international students
- Meet Kirkwood staff and faculty and ask any questions you have
- Get an overview of Kirkwood Community College
- Learn to use My Hub
- Learn about taking placement tests
- Get information about paying tuition
- Learn how to buy your books and get your EagleCard
- Find where to get help at Kirkwood
- Cover immigration rules, regulations & health insurance requirements
- Have the opportunity to win t-shirts, prizes, and much more!
“I would say the best thing about the Kirkwood experience is how friendly and helpful all the faculty and students are. You’re able to make real connections with your classmates and especially your professors.”
