Welcome to the University of Florida!  

As a student on a J-1 visa, you must complete the EVS check-in process at the beginning of your program.  

This process is separate from any other new student orientations hosted by your academic department. 

Part 1: Online Check-In Application 

  • Must be submitted within six days of arrival in the US. 
  • Exchange Visitor Services (EVS) will email you the link to this online check-in application prior to your program start date.

Part 2: Mandatory Check-In Orientation 

  • Held via Zoom shortly before the start of classes. 
  • You will be informed of the date and time well in advance. Please continue to regularly check your email for updates. 
  • Following orientation, you must clear any remaining registration holds on your ONE.UF account
