Passport to Emory is a pre-departure onboarding program for F-1/J-1 international students who will begin their undergraduate, graduate, or professional program at Emory University in Fall 2024. 

This free, in-person program will offer helpful information related to pre-departure, immigration, campus resources, cultural awareness, and so much more. Passport to Emory will help smooth your transition and prepare you for a successful Emory student experience.
