Arriving Late

New to UB orientation programs are required for all first-year and transfer undergraduate students. Program dates and arrival deadlines will be communicated to you by Orientation, Transition and Parent Programs.

In addition to required orientation, all new international students have regulatory arrival deadlines as well. Sometimes situations occur - such as travel issues and visa delays - that are outside of your control. Please review the information below if you will arrive in the U.S. after the first day of classes

If you do arrive late, you still must complete your entire International Student Check-in.

Undergraduate students who will start their first semester at UB for the upcoming semester must contact International Admissions (intadmit@buffalo.edu) to request late arrival permission if they will arrive after the program start date on their I-20/DS-2019.

You must contact ISS (iss@buffalo.edu) to request late arrival permission if you will arrive after the program start date on your I-20/DS-2019 and are:

• An undergraduate student who began your academic program remotely and will being coming to UB campus for the first time.
• An undergraduate student who will be returning to the U.S. with an “Initial” I-20 (due to change of status via travel/return from LOA/return after violation of status) for the upcoming semester.
