2. Immigration Check-In
New international students need to complete the Pre-Arrival Immigration Orientation on Canvas and submit the Immigration Check-In e-form through IntlHokies (online immigration services portal for international students). In-person check-in is not required. If students have an assistantship, they will also need to submit the Social Security Number Letter Request e-form through IntlHokies. If you have questions, please contact Cranwell International Center at international@vt.edu or 1- 6527.
3. Late Arrival Arrangements for International Students
International students who are unable to arrive in the U.S. by August 14 (the start date listed on all students I-20 immigration documents), should contact Cranwell International Center to request updated immigration documents. The latest new international students may arrive in the U.S. to begin studies for fall 2023 is August 25*. After this date, students will need to defer their admission to spring 2024 or fall 2024.
