International Student and Scholar

The University of Michigan International Center is excited to host a Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) for new international students and parents on Saturday, May 17, 2025 in Hong Kong. The International Center is seeking PDO Student Leaders to volunteer for this event. Student Leaders will share valuable information with new students and their parents in order to prepare them for their arrival in Ann Arbor. They will also gain experience developing skills in public speaking and peer-mentorship through this exciting opportunity to represent U-M abroad!

International students and scholars who were in the United States in 2024 as nonresidents for U.S. tax purposes will need to prepare and mail one or more tax forms to the Internal Revenue Service.

The staff of the International Center would like to express our sympathy and concern for U-M international students, scholars, and employees affected by the recent earthquake that struck Myanmar and impacted Thailand and other nearby regions. Our thoughts are with you, your families, and friends during this challenging time.

If you plan to leave and re-enter the United States, be sure to review Re-entry to the U.S.

If you are in the U.S. as an F-1 student or J-1 student or scholar, here are a few important points to remember.
