A few important steps are required of all new international students. Here are some steps you can follow to get a head start.
Immigration Documents:
Immigration document check-in is required for all incoming international and exchange students in all OSU and INTO OSU programs. You can start this process early by submitting copies of your immigration documents in IP Connect.
Immunization Documents: All international students entering OSU are required to submit documentation of or receive required immunizations. International students must complete a Health History Form via the online Patient Portal, or can download the form and return by mail, fax, or email. Contact the Immunizations Office with any questions. They are looking forward to hearing from you and need to make contact with every new student, so don’t wait to reach out to them.

Many international students at OSU receive support services through INTO Oregon State University. INTO OSU is a joint venture partnership between Oregon State University and INTO University Partnerships, which created the INTO OSU program on the Corvallis campus. INTO OSU provides English language training, academic preparation, and international student support services as well as recruitment and admissions support.
· International Direct Services: In addition to the services and experiences provided as part of OSU's comprehensive First Year Experience (FYE) for all undergraduate, first-year degree-seeking students, OSU offers international first-year students an additional layer of academic and personal support services delivered by INTO OSU. These International Direct (ID) services (insert link) include a personalized study plan with individualized advising and guided registration, additional academic support resources tailored to international student needs, and ongoing personal support from pre-arrival and orientation throughout the first three terms at OSU. ID services are provided in close partnership with other university departments, and are designed to ensure a smooth transition to US higher education and a strong start towards a degree from Oregon State University.
· INTO OSU Programs: INTO OSU programs combine intensive language study, academic skills development and academic course work in a carefully constructed program designed to prepare students for rigorous OSU degree programs. INTO OSU programs include International Year One (Pathway), Undergraduate Transfer Program, Graduate Pathway, Academic English, Study Abroad With English, and Visiting International Student Program.
