Welcome to DePaul University!

If you have been issued a SEVIS I-20 Form and/or a SEVIS DS-2019 Form, you must attend the International Student Office (ISO) orientation. The ISO orientation is mandatory for all international students who are new to DePaul University (this includes students transferring from another U.S. university). Remember that this orientation is different and separate from the orientation you may be required to attend by your academic department. 

The ISO orientation will cover important information regarding your F-1 and/or J-1 non-immigrant student visa status especially as it relates to the new Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The orientation will also introduce you to various academic and social resources of the University.
