Onboarding Process
The onboarding process for exchange students at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) is designed to ensure a smooth transition and provide comprehensive support throughout their academic journey. By providing a comprehensive onboarding process, JGU aims to create a welcoming and supportive environment for exchange students, enabling them to make the most of their academic and cultural experiences at the university.
Here’s an overview of the onboarding process:
Pre-Arrival Information:
Exchange students receive detailed pre-arrival information, including essential documents, visa requirements, accommodation options, and important dates. This information is typically provided via email or an online portal to help students prepare for their arrival.
Orientation Program:
Upon arrival, students participate in an orientation program organized by the Office of International Affairs and Global Initiatives. The orientation covers various aspects of academic life, campus facilities, cultural adaptation, safety guidelines, and support services available at JGU.
Academic Advising
students are assigned academic advisors who assist them in selecting courses, understanding academic requirements, and navigating the curriculum. Advisors guide course registration, credit transfer procedures, and academic resources available on campus. Familiarize yourself with the academic requirements and curriculum of your program. Review course materials, textbooks, and any pre-reading recommended by your professors.
Campus Tour and Facilities Introduction
Students are given a guided tour of the campus to familiarize them with the facilities, including classrooms, libraries, laboratories, recreational areas, dining options, and student support centers. This helps students feel more comfortable and confident navigating the campus environment.
Cultural Integration Activities
JGU organizes various cultural integration activities, workshops, and social events to facilitate interaction between exchange students and the local student community. These activities promote cross-cultural understanding, friendship building, and immersion in the vibrant campus life at JGU.
Support Services
Students have access to a range of support services, including academic advising, counseling, health services, and emergency assistance. The Office of International Affairs and Global Initiatives serves as a primary point of contact for any questions, concerns, or assistance needed during their stay at JGU.
Regular Check-ins
Throughout the semester, students receive regular check-ins from the international office staff to ensure their well-being, address any issues or challenges they may encounter, and provide additional support as needed.
Request an ID Card (university ID card)
Once you arrive at the university, don't forget to request your university ID card. This card serves as official identification within the university campus and provides access to various facilities and services. Be sure to obtain your university ID card promptly to enjoy its benefits throughout your academic journey.
