Welcome to the University of Delaware! We are so happy you have decided to become a Blue Hen! Our office is here to serve as your "home away from home" and we look forward to meeting you!
Follow the links below for important information for new international students. You can find more helpful information on these webpages.
To officially accept your offer of admission to UD and to attend, there are some important tasks that must be completed.
From the moment your plane lands until classes begin, we've laid out the steps to follow to begin your time at UD.
Orientation events help you transition to UD and the U.S. and complete government check-in so you can be registered in SEVIS.
In addition to everything you need to do regarding admission and immigration, there are many practical things to think about when preparing to move to the U.S. Join us for our Before You Arrive webinar series before your first semester begins. We've also developed this quick reference guide Getting Ready to Arrive in the U.S.
Find more information to help you prepare for your new life, about housing, shopping, transportation, healthcare and more, on the Life in the U.S. & at UD webpage.
