Once you receive your Form I-20 and/or acceptance letter from the International Student Services Office, we ask that you do the following upon arriving on campus:
  • All international students are required by US Immigration to report directly to Dowling’s International Student Services Office (located in Racanelli Center Room 209) as soon as you arrive on campus.
  • Bring all immigration documents and any other original documents we requested from you prior to entrance.
  • Meet with an International Advisor
  • Sign up for Orientation
  • Register for the placement exams
  • Register for classes. Payment is due when you register for classes.
* Note: All international students must be registered as full-time students (undergraduate -- at least 12 credits per semester; graduate students at least 9 credits per semester).
