International Student Orientation

Chicago Campus

A special orientation program unique to international students and missionary kids (MKs) is mandatory for all students with an F-1 visa. Missionary kids must also attend international student orientation.

This orientation is intended to help international students adjust to life in the United States as well as assist missionary kids through the repatriation process. There are also several important immigration sessions that take place during this time tailored to international students.

One of the most rewarding aspects about international student and missionary kid orientation is the opportunity it gives to international students and missionary kids to make lasting friendships with each other. These friendships often form a support network for the students that will help them through their Moody career.
