Fall 2008 Orientation Schedule
"Orientation Day" events are mandatory for all new graduate students.
All new international graduate students should check in at the MTCC Welcome Center upon arrival to campus. Graduate Orientation Leaders will be available beginning July 21, 2008 to facilitate mini-orientation sessions and campus tours, offered Monday through Friday at 11 am and 3 pm. Please come to the MTCC Welcome Center ten minutes prior to your preferred session.
The mini-orientation sessions will cover information about your student ID, health insurance, IIT e-mail address and other general services to help you succeed before, during, and after classes begin. The campus tour will begin immediately after the mini-orientation session and will last approximately one hour. For more information about international student arrival and check-in, visit the International Center website.
Also, Galvin Library is hosting tours of the library from 1 pm to 2 pm every Wednesday in August for new graduate students. This one-hour program will tell you how to get started using the library and will answer any questions you have about library services and resources. Don't miss out on the great opportunity.
Pick up your CTA U-Pass during orientation week. Times and locations are listed in the schedule below. For complete information, visit IIT's U-Pass website.
