International Student Orientation

All new international students are required to complete International Student Orientation (ISO) before starting classes at Concordia. ISO is an online orientation designed to provide all the information and tools you will need to succeed as a student at Concordia. Before the semester begins, the Moon International Center staff will contact you to assist with your enrollment process and provide access to the ISO portal.

International Student Welcome Day

To make your transition easier, international students are allowed to check in early! On International Student Welcome Day, our team of International Student Ambassadors (ISAs) will be available to help you check into your dorm, take you shopping for essentials, and show you around the area.

All new international students (including those living off-campus) must check in on International Student Welcome Day to complete their legal orientation.

Arrival Information

If you’re living on campus, make sure to book a flight that will arrive the morning of or before International Student Welcome Day. You will only be able to move into your dorm on your designated check-in day. If you decide to arrive before move-in day, you will need to make your own hotel arrangements.
