Settling In Guide
Welcome to the United States, Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University! The Office of International Education is excited to welcome you to the university, and we hope to get to know you better during your time here.
This Settling in Guide is meant to be your first resource once you arrive in the U.S. and was developed to help our various international populations adjust to the U.S. and get to know the university. If you have not yet arrived in the U.S., you may want to reference our Pre-Arrival resources.
We look forward to all of the great things you will accomplish while you are at CMU!
Orientation Welcome Session & Immigration Check-In
All new students are required to complete an OIE International Orientation and Immigration Check-In upon arrival to Carnegie Mellon University. Pittsburgh students are required to attend the OIE Mandatory Immigration Check-in & Welcome Session. In addition to regularly reviewing the OIE website and Twitter page, we encourage you to check your Andrew email account frequently, as this is how OIE will contact you with important orientation information and updates. If you are not studying at the Pittsburgh campus, OIE will send you information on how you can fulfill the orientation requirement remotely.
Incoming Fulbright Students & Scholars
Information and resources for incoming Fulbright students and scholars is available on the Pre-Arrival & Settling In section of our website.
