If I cannot attend the mandatory January 2010 orientation due to a late flight from my country or a visa problem, can I still attend NJIT in January 2010?

Yes. However, please be aware that a late arrival can often create initial challenges for you. For example, you may still be searching for accommodations when classes start, or you may not get all the classes you want as some classes may already be filled. You will be asked to attend an orientation upon arrival.
