First Week in The U.S. & NYC
Here are some resources to help you get started after moving to the U.S. for the first time.
International Student Resources
International students and scholars are a vibrant part of the Cornell community. Student & Academic Affairs serve as the first point of contact for Cornell Tech students studying on an F-1 or J-1 student visa. Cornell Tech is a designated campus for F-1 students with Designated School Officials (DSOs) and a site of activity for J-1 students with an Alternate Responsible Officer (ARO).
This page contains information specific to the Cornell Tech campus. Our colleagues in International Services have worked hard to create a deeply informative International Services website that contains information and guidance pertinent to all international students at Cornell. Cornell Tech students are encouraged to explore the International Services site and the many resources available there!
J-1 scholars and Cornell Tech employees with a Cornell-sponsored visa should direct any questions to the International Services office.
