Gateways International Student Orientation 2025

Gateways International Student Orientation will assist new international students in completing important personal matters, including the opportunity to purchase necessary personal items, meeting with Health Services regarding vaccination requirements, and getting settled on campus before Gateways Orientation begins. Students will participate in workshops and presentations on a variety of topics to support their transition to the U.S. including F-1 visa immigration requirements, learning about culture in the United States, academic expectations, and campus support services. This is the ideal time to meet faculty, staff and student leaders who will serve as resources during a student’s time at Holy Cross.

All new international students are expected to participate in this special orientation. This orientation is free of charge.

Gateways International Student Orientation will take place beginning on Sunday, August 17, 2025 with an opening dinner through Tuesday, August 19, 2025. New international students will then continue to Gateways Orientation beginning on Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

Please contact Patrick Rogers, Director of Orientation and Transition, at progers@holycross.edu with any questions about the program.
