Optional Global Gopher Programs
The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)
has arranged several programs to help students adjust to campus, learn about campus resources, and make new friends. While not required, past students said the activities helped them feel more prepared for the start of classes. Visit z.umn.edu/ISSSNewStudentPrograms for more information.
Campus Calendar and Events
Due to COVID-19 safety measures, certain in-person activities and events have shifted to online formats. The University of Minnesota will continue to monitor the situation for fall 2022 and will communicate any changes. For important key dates and events, please visit z.umn.edu/keydates.
