Planning
for Arrival |
|
|
Once students
have received a “Welcome”
email from us, students can expect that their DS
-2019 will be in the mail to their International
Coordinators shortly. Students should be thinking
about the following issues to plan for their arrival
at UNF and Jacksonville. |
|
1. |
Deciding when to Arrive
in Jacksonville |
|
|
• |
Students should expect to
arrive a few days before
classes start at UNF. UNF’s International Center
hosts a REQUIRED International
Student Orientation before classes start,
too. Please take these factors into consideration when
making flight arrangements. |
• |
When
do your housing arrangements start? |
| |
» |
If you are living
on-campus and plan to arrive early, please contact us
early so that we can help to make arrangements for you. |
| |
» |
If you
are living off-campus, have you discussed your arrival
and needed accommodations with the apartment complex? |
• |
If it is unclear when you should
arrive, please email Kate
Mattingly. |
|
2. |
After you make your Flight
Arrangements |
|
|
• |
Students are required to share
their flight itinerary with us. We would like to help you
plan for your arrival in Jacksonville. |
• |
We can easily provide a personal
pick up service from the Jacksonville
International Airport (JIA). Please let us know as
early as possible so that we can make arrangements for
you. |
