Prospective students and accepted students

Be sure to read through the section For Incoming Students and also the International Student Handbook. Feel free to ask any questions that you have, it is quite a challenge to come to a new country to study and we want to help ease the process as much as possible. Once you arrive on campus you will quickly find a great support network within the Cultural Engagement & Inclusion Staff and in your orientation program.

Make sure you join the International Students group so you don’t miss exciting trips for shopping, sports events, or cultural activities. The airport transportation schedule is really important to look at before buying your airplane ticket to make sure you have a way to get to or from the airport.

If you are looking for information on obtaining a social security number, income taxes, getting a driver's license, or buying a car, then see a staff member in the Cultural Engagement & Inclusion Office in Cambridge Hall.

There is a lot to get involved in at Muskingum. You will quickly find that there is time to be in clubs or other activities and still maintain high academic achievement.
