Study abroad students

Mandatory Welcome Sessions will take place in the afternoon on Friday, September 11. You will be divided in different groups/time slots. Students will receive an email indicating the time they should arrive on campus for their welcome session. Please get settled at your host family or other accommodation before coming to campus if possible.

If your flight arrives in the afternoon, you may come directly to campus. There will be a place where you can leave your luggage during the welcome sessions. Please inform us if this will be the case by emailing your arrival details to studentlife-madrid@slu.edu.
