The pre-arrival orientation videos will cover a variety of important topics for new students including health insurance, immigration regulations and more.  You can watch the pre-arrival orientation videos on Brightspace - Scroll down the page to the “My Courses” section and click on the “Binghamton University International Orientation” link.  These videos should be watched before the in-person programming on Thursday, January 11.  

The interactive in-person components will allow new international students to engage with one another, make connections, and get to know more about the Binghamton University community in an informal social environment.

All new international students are required to participate in International Student Orientation, even if you have previously attended another university in the United States. 

All new international undergraduate students are also required to have their English language skills assessed, regardless of where they have studied previously. The English Language Skills Assessment is scheduled for Wednesday, January 10 from 10:00AM to 12:00PM in University Union Room 103 (UU 103). If you have any questions regarding the English Language Skills Assessment, email eli@binghamton.edu

All pre-arrival emails will be posted on our webpage for future reference. Emails will only be posted once they have been distributed to incoming students.
