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 in Fall 2025. 

This free, in-person event will offer helpful information related to immigration, course registration, cultural awareness, pre-departure tips, campus resources, and so much more.  

Passport to Emory will help smooth your transition and prepare you for a successful Emory student experience. The program will include: 

• a presentation for both incoming students and their family members 
• an opportunity to meet representatives from Emory University
• a networking break during which students and family members can connect with one another and current international students/alumni
  

 This year, Passport to Emory will be held in three locations: 

If you are an incoming F-1 or J-1 student not currently in Seoul, Hong Kong or Mumbai but want to travel to one of our Passport to Emory programs, please email isss@emory.edu by May 15 to request registration details. Please note that attendees are responsible for their own transportation to and from the event sites and any other expenses.  

The Passport to Emory program is one of the ways Emory University demonstrates its appreciation for the international students who choose to make Emory their home by studying with us. If you are unable to attend this year’s Passport to Emory program in Mumbai or Seoul, ISSS and our partners will be reaching out to incoming international students in the coming months to warmly welcome you to the Emory community. Please review our dedicated New Student webpage and stay tuned for invitations to helpful webinars for incoming students and their family members.
