International Student Orientation

Welcome to University of Bridgeport!

International Orientation is your first official welcome to University of Bridgeport. This is your chance to meet faculty, staff, and other new students and get to know more about the campus. Orientation is officially two days of activities that will ultimately enable you to register for your classes.

Please do not be late to orientation. This event is mandatory. You will not be able to register for classes if you do not attend. Late arrivals will not be permitted.

International Orientation begins at 9:00 AM in Mandeville Hall Lobby. We will have numerous events happening on and around campus. This is a great opportunity for you to meet your fellow classmates and make friends before classes begin. We encourage you to take advantage of these activities. (Fun makes jetlag disappear!)
