It is strongly recommended that students arrive prior to the Exchange Student Orientation dates to become acclimatized. Application, Visa and Registration Process Prospective exchange students from partner institutions are nominated by their home institution. There is no further selection process. US visa application forms, course registration information and exchange information packet are airmailed to incoming students when their selection by the home institution is confirmed.
