Check-in / Orientation
Welcome to La Sierra University. We are happy that you decided to join our school and we look forward to getting to you know better and have you as part of our international family at LSU.
Pre-arrival
Here's a few things you might want to do BEFORE coming to La Sierra, if you haven't done so already.
- Reserve housing if you will be living in the dormitories. You can make a dorm room application through the Residential Life web site.
- Request an airport pick up, if needed. You'll need your flight information to contact the shuttle company. NOTE: there is a fee for this service.
Check-in
We require all new international students to coming to La Sierra to report to our office within seven (7) working days of their arrival into the United States. When you report to our office, be prepared for a 20 minute mini-orientation and please bring with you the following documents:
