International Scholar Orientation
The International Services and Engagement Office (ISEO) is excited to welcome you to UC San Diego! iOrientation is intended to help new international scholars understand how to maintain their visa status while at UC San Diego.
J-1 Orientation
Orientation is required for all new J-1 Scholars at UC San Diego, new J-1 programs, and those transferring to UC San Diego. There are many regulations and requirements pertaining to your J-1 visa status. iOrientation is an opportunity to learn about these requirements so that violations of your visa status do not occur. The J-1 orientation is different from other orientations you may also be required to attend; such as the postdoc orientation.
You will receive an email from ISEO with instructions regarding how to attend an online orientation. Mandatory J-1 Orientations are being held virtually via Zoom. Orientation sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. the first and third Tuesday of the month (excluding holidays). We will email you the information, however feel free to email ischolars@ucsd.edu for specific dates and Zoom meeting information.
