International Wildcat Welcome

2025 Fall Term International Wildcat Welcome

New undergraduate students arriving for Fall 2025 will participate in both a required online F-1/J-1 orientation course and in-person "International Wildcat Welcome" programs and activities designed for undergraduate students.

Please see below for the dates of the Fall 2025 International Wildcat Welcome (IWW).  A more detailed version of the IWW schedule will be available in the coming months.

  • September 7: Airport pick-up and Move-in for undergraduate international students  

OISS will provide shuttle transportation from Chicago O'Hare Airport to the Evanston campus on September 7, 2025. Please review the shuttle details and times here: (insert link to plan your arrival ).

Note: this shuttle is only for Â鶹´«Ã½ students, students traveling with families and friends may arrive to Â鶹´«Ã½ by other forms of transportation. 

International Undergraduate students move into their campus residence on September 7 and do not need to select a move-in appointment.  

  • September 8-9: IWW in-person programming

The International Wildcat Welcome in-person experience is highly recommended for incoming international students to participate. This is a great opportunity for international students to connect with other peers, build community, and get familiarized with campus resources. 

International students will transition to their Wildcat Welcome experience once IWW concludes.
