International Scholar Orientation

Scholar orientation at Emory consists of two simple steps: reporting your arrival electronically using the New Scholar Arrival e-form in ISSS Link, and then attending a mandatory orientation session at ISSS

Step 1: New Scholar Arrival e-form completion

Step 2: Review ISSS resources for new international scholars/employees.

  • Visit the Life in the US section of the ISSS website which contains a wide variety of resources and information you may find helpful as you establish yourself in Atlanta.
  • Check out the J-1 Scholar's Guide to Emory. Although some of the information in this guide is only relevant to exchange visitors in J status, all international scholars and employees may find the guide helpful and informative.
