Arrival and Travel Information

The information on this page (and linked to this page below and to the side) is a supplement to the Admissions packet information you received together with your I-20.  Each student who confirms admission with the Assistant Director of International Admissions (Ms. Kim Hajec) will also receive an email Welcome Letter from the ISO with further reminders, instructions, and updates.

You will particpate in an International Student Orientation here at Gannon University, but you may find it helpful to attend a pre-departure orientation sponsored by the U.S. Department of State' s EducationUSA Centers. For  a listing of locations and dates, please see the EducationUSA Web site.

A list of current students who serve as Orientation Assistants is located at the bottom of this page along with their email addresses.

Best of luck on your preparations, and feel free to contact us with questions after reviewing the information linked below.

Thanks,

ISO Staff (Meet the Staff of the International Student Office)
