Welcome to Seattle! All new international students on F-1 or J-1 visas at the University of Washington Seattle are required by the university to attend one Embark session, which is held virtually but which you should attend after you physically arrive in Seattle.

Embark is organized by FIUTS in collaboration with the UW International Student Services office and other campus offices. During Embark, you will connect with other new and returning students, prepare for your cultural transition to the UW and U.S, and learn more about maintaining your visa status while a student at UW. Embark sessions are offered as part of your international welcome programming in the quarter you are entering UW.
