International Student Orientation

International Students - Next Steps 

Dean is proud to welcome new international students to campus each fall and spring semester. Approximately 10% of our students come from outside the United States and they represent over 20 different countries.

Now that you have decided to join the Dean community and have submitted your enrollment deposit you are invited to attend an orientation program at the start of your first semester at Dean College.  

International Student Orientation (ISO) combines fun activities with helpful workshops and presentations on academic support, technology services, immigration, advising and residence life. You'll also have a chance to interact with our faculty and staff, connect with other Dean students, and make lots of new friends! 

International Student Orientation (ISO) - Fall (August) 2023

International students enrolling at Dean College for the Fall 2023 semester should plan to arrive on campus on August 29, 2023 to begin their journey at Dean College.

NOTE: If you are a U.S. citizen who has been living abroad you are welcome to join us for ISO. Please contact orientation@dean.edu if you would like to be part of the program.
