International Students

Registration and Arrival Dates

All exchange students are registered for courses by the Academic Exchange office. Class schedules are generally available about one month before the beginning of classes. Exact registration dates and instructions will be included in the student's acceptance letter but normally undergraduate students must arrange final schedules approximately one week before classes begin; Graduate students must petition for classes approximately six weeks before classes begin. If students cannot arrive in time for registration, it is important that they keep in close contact with the Academic Exchange Office in case there is any problem with class selection or schedules. ITAM will do its best to give preferential enrollment in classes to exchange students. Once classes are filled, however, it is difficult to find additional space for exchange or even regular ITAM students.

Special Note: Students are expected to arrive at the starting date for classes. We usually plan an orientation session and luncheon during the week prior to beginning of the undergraduate and Masters classes. Likewise, students are expected to respect all final exam schedules and should not reserve flights home until exam dates have been verified.
