IAI and the Graduate School collaborate to build an academic orientation at the start of each semester. It helps international\u00a0students become familiar with academic policies and procedures, provides information about campus resources, and facilitates connections between students and Graduate Program Coordinators (GPCs). These mandatory academic orientations are designed to ease international graduate students into the academic community and foster a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n
