WELCOME TO BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY

The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) welcomes you to the Binghamton University campus community! 

In the coming weeks, we will send you emails that go into greater detail about how to prepare for your arrival at Binghamton, including how to register for Orientation, tasks you must complete upon your arrival, health insurance, etc. Make sure you read and save these emails for future reference to guide you through the process of preparing for your arrival at Binghamton.

Before arriving to the U.S. here are some must dos:

    1. Obtain your Visa
    2. Upload your health documents
    3. Arrange your housing – Review the “On-campus early arrival housing” section for instructions on how to make a request to move into your on-campus housing in time for International Student Orientation
    4. Upload a photo for your University identification card
    5. Review meal plan options
    6. Arrange travel accommodations to Binghamton University
    7. Watch the mandatory pre-arrival orientation videos that will be available as of Monday, December 4, 2023.


Once you have entered the U.S., you will need to complete the Arrival Form.  If you do not complete this form, the ISSS will not be able to update your SEVIS record and your immigration status may be at risk.

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

ISSS welcomes any questions and/or concerns about what you need to do before you arrive at Binghamton. Do not hesitate to contact us at intlori@binghamton.edu

We look forward to meeting you at Orientation on Thursday, January 11, 2024.

Best Wishes,
The Office of International Student and Scholar Services
