Arriving On Campus

New Student Information—Fall 2009

Arriving On Campus

Please plan to arrive in plenty of time so that you can acclimate yourself to campus and take care of any necessary details before orientation begins. Once on campus you will need to take care of the following items:

1. Check In with the MSPE Office staff

2. International Student Check In

International students are required to check in at the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office upon arrival for visa processing. The following documents are required at the time of processing: passport, visa documents (I-20 or DS-2019), and university NetID and UIN for electronic data collection.

In addition, ISSS holds orientation to help new international students adjust to life on campus and provides information on how and when to apply for a permanent Social Security number. It is highly recommended that students attend these sessions.

Please check the ISSS web site for updated information on fall orientation and other information sessions, or contact them with any questions.

3. University Identification Card (i-card)

Students need to acquire a University ID card. Visit the campus ID center in the Illini Union Bookstore, First Floor. Students will need to bring a current (unexpired) government issued photo ID and a completed Card Agreement Form.

Please visit the i-card web site for a list of acceptable proofs of ID, and information on additional services available with the i-card.

Note to international students: When you obtain your i-card, at that time you will also be able to request a temporary social security number to use until you apply and receive your permanent social security number. Further information is provided during ISSS orientation.

4. McKinley Health Center

Students need to turn in all required medical forms at McKinley Health Center.

5. MSPE Orientation
