The presentation will cover a wide range of topics (everything from visa procedures to water use) and will attempt to answer the most common questions/concerns students have regarding there stay here outside of the classroom. Students who already live in Amman, or have visited before, may find the presentation somewhat less beneficial. As such, attendance is optional.
**During the Academic Orientation session, many of academic policies/procedures will be explained. Attendance is mandatory.
