INTERNATIONAL ORIENTATION
Welcome!

My name is Karima Ummah and I am the Coordinator of International/Multicultural Affairs.  The International/Multicultural Center would like to welcome the class of 2012 to Sacred Heart University!  We are looking forward to your arrival to campus in the fall.  Before you arrive there are a few things that you need to make sure that you take care of.

1. Be sure to fill out all of your health forms online. 

 http://www.sacredheart.edu/pages/1327_health_services_forms.cfm 

All INTERNATIONAL students are required to purchase the university's health insurance policy.  All other students may remain on their parent's insurance. 

2.  Transportation will be provided from JFK and LaGuardia airports for students that arrive at either airports between 9am and 4pm.  Please be sure to email your flight information to me as soon as possible.  If your flight is delayed or is scheduled for another date please be sure to use the Prime Time Shuttle Service.  They will be able to drop you off at Sacred Heart University.  Please keep in mind that you will need to make reservations at least 24 hours in advance with the shuttle company.  You can make reservations at this website, http://www.2theairport.com/ 

3. The first day of orientation is Wednesday, Aug. 27th.  You may arrive anytime between 12pm and 6pm to move into your dorm.  All students may pick up their keys in Hawley Lounge.
