International Students Orientation Schedule

 

International Students attend New Student Orientation in August, right before the Fall semester begins. Orientation will be a two-and-a-half-day program in order for students to experience a smooth transition.  Become acquainted with campus life, and the many different services Barry University has to offer.

If you have chosen to live on campus in one of Barry’s residence halls, move-in day will be the morning of August 24, right before orientation begins. You will be able to organize your living space to make it your own, as well as meet other incoming students to start building those lifetime friendships. We strongly suggest that you come a day earlier to ensure you are able to move-in on time so you do not miss out on all the festivities that will be going on during orientation.
