COVID-19 International Orientation Update: With the health and safety of the university community being our main priority, OIPS has made the decision to move our international student orientation online for Spring 2021. Though a virtual format, students must still register for Orientation. On January 4, 2021, we will be releasing pre-recorded virtual content for students to view at their own pace. All content should be viewed and the final assessment should be completed not later than Monday, January 18. Information about the virtual orientation process will be sent to students who register for orientation via their Masonlive email. Virtual orientation is mandatory for ALL new students (Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral) except for Antonio Scalia Law School students. If you are an incoming Antonio Scalia Law School student, please contact Aleksandra Melnikova (amelniko@gmu.edu) to schedule an appointment.
Welcome to Mason and we are very excited for you to be joining our dynamic international student community!
More information about Mason’s response to COVID-19 is available at http://gmu.edu/coronavirus
