     comprehensive information about available resources and key contacts.

    To have all your questions answered.

    To facilitate initial academic advisement, course selection, and registration.

    To help you familiarize with the campus environment and physical facilities.

    To give you the opportunity to meet with your new classmates in a welcoming
     environment and help you connect to faculty, staff and other students.

    For international students, to complete immigration process and get advice on how to
     adjust to France and the French way of life.

      Participation to orientation week is compulsory and of course, free of charge.
