We are excited to have you join our wonderful Pitt international community! Please use the Modules section to learn more about the immigration process, the University of Pittsburgh, and living in the United States. We hope these resources ease your transition and provide important information to guide you as you prepare to be a Pitt student.

Additional Resources

Pre-Arrival Checklist

The Pre-Arrival Checklist in My OIS will be where you submit and complete everything REQUIRED to obtain your immigration document and provide materials to activate your SEVIS record. This includes required trainings. The main difference between the Pre-Arrival Checklist and the information in this course can be described as that the Pre-Arrival Checklist is required for all incoming international students and this course is essential to any student who has not lived in the United States or Pittsburgh before.

More resources can be found on our New to Pitt and our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpages.
