International Orientation

We are excited that you are coming to Â鶹ÍøÕ¾Áбí! Please review the information below to prepare for Orientation.

How do I Receive my I-20?

To be able to receive your I-20/DS-2019, you need to set up your TrojanPass. Your immigration document (I-20/DS-2019) will ONLY be emailed to your troy.edu email address. You will have access to this email after you set up your TrojanPass. Please view the video below with steps on how to set up your TrojanPass.

It is very important that you don't use text messages as a way to authenticate your log-in. You need to download the Authenticator app and use this. The reason is that you will not have the same phone number in the US as you do in your home country. Therefore, as soon as you arrive in the US and change your phone number, you will not be able to authenticate your log-in. When using the app as your authenticator, it doesn't matter what your phone number is!



Pre-Arrival Orientation

To prepare for your trip and studies at Â鶹ÍøÕ¾Áбí , we have put together a MANDATORY pre-arrival orientation.



Orientation Sign Up

Spring orientation will start on January 13th and end on January 14th.

To make your check-in process on campus easier, sign up for a time with International Programs. Students need to plan to stay at Â鶹ÍøÕ¾Áбí from the day they check-in until school starts. Please don't plan any travel to any other cities during Orientation.

Students that have not arranged housing before they arrive will be taken to a hotel for temporary housing until they find housing. Landlords are not available during the weekend.
