F1 Onboarding

Congratulations on your admission to Central Piedmont! 


Attendance at the F-1 student onboarding session is required. During the session, we will cover important topics related to your F-1 status, classes, academic expectations and employment


However, you are not required to attend this session if any of the following apply to you:

  • You have already attended this session before.
  • You have applied for a change of status and have not yet received a response from USCIS.
  • You will be outside the United States as of August 13th, 2026.
  • You have deferred your application to Spring 2027.

Please remember to bring paper copies of the following documents with you to the session:

  • Your Visa
  • Your most recent I-94
  • Your Form I-20

Bringing paper copies of these documents will help our check-in process move efficiently. All students — Transfer, Change of Status, and New — will receive new I-20s within the first two weeks of classes. We look forward to meeting you!
