International Orientation

George Mason’s International Student Orientation is designed to help transition new international students to George Mason and expose you to George Mason’s broad educational opportunities. 

Transfer international students are invited to complete the Costello College of Business’s Pre-Orientation process prior to their on-campus arrival. 

It is essential that you bring copies of your transcript - both what you submitted to George Mason University and the organization that evaluated your international transcript.  

Upon arrival, check in immediately with the  Office of International Programs and Services. The office can help you understand immigration and other requirements for international students.    

If you believe one or more of your courses did not transfer correctly, you may submit one copy of your international evaluation with your re-evaluation request as well as an official course description for each course. If possible, try to get these descriptions before you leave your country and keep copies for future use. George Mason will need these descriptions to determine the level and credits for the course. Official course descriptions must be in English or processed through an official translator.  Get help translating documents into English.
