Employee and Scholar Orientations
These orientations are for employees and scholars who are new to their respective immigration status (J-1, H-1B, TN, or E-3) and may also be new to UChicago. These sessions cover maintaining status, travel and visa renewal, extending status, and much more. This is also a great opportunity to meet other scholars and employees from across campus and share resources available to scholar and employees during your stay at the University. To attend, please register in advance.
