New International students:  

  • Plan to arrive at Oxy on August 13 . . . ready to LAUNCH!
  • August 14 - 16: Meet IPO staff, student leaders, and your fellow global tigers! We will have formal sessions, social time, neighborhood exploration, and practical tasks to accomplish. And, oh yeah, get over jet lag!
  • August 17– 19: First years participate in LA Engage ~ IPO pays half the cost!  The other half is charged to your student account. Spots limited.

Everyone:

  • August 20 - August 26:  Participants transition into mandatory new student orientation  based on their cohort. There are different specialized sessions for each group (i.e. first-years, exchange, etc.)

ISO programming may not be relevant to students who went to high school in the U.S. or Canada, or who have 2 or more years of experience with U.S. culture. The International Program Office will contact students in May 2024 with ISO registration information.

Please email us with any questions or concerns at ipo@oxy.edu.
