I Was Accepted! Now What?


First of all, take a moment to celebrate!  Congratulations!  You did it!

Now pull yourself together and get started on the other stuff.  Where do you find info on the "other stuff?"  Lucky for you, it's all on this website.  Take some time to get familiar with it.

Make sure you have submitted all the items on the Checklist for Application. 

In the meantime, you should check out the Checklist for After Acceptance for a list of the other items you'll need to submit.  Don't wait until the last minute - some of the items will take longer than others (I'm looking at you, Passport).  You should also look at the Forms & Docs tab on this website.  It gives a detailed list of the application items as well as the post-acceptance items you'll need to work on.  There are items you'll need to bring with you to the Orientation Meeting.

Mandatory Orientation Meeting: Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at 10:00 am.  
Location:  Ekstrom Library - Room W210.

What to expect the first day of work in a foreign country where you have to speak French all day?  Treat it like any other "first day on the job." Show up on time. Leave the dorms in plenty of time to get there on the first day so you know how long it'll take you to get to work for the rest of your stay. Dress professionally. Business casual Refresh yourself on how to introduce yourself and make small talk. Je m'appelle, enchanté, il fait très chaud, etc. Take whatever instruction and duty they may give you, without a fuss.   You are the guest here. Demonstrate a willingness to be helpful.   They are counting on you to provide an extra hand while other employees take their vacation. Don't complain if they don't give you the biggest project in the office. They are not going to waste too much time training you when you'll only be there for 4 weeks. Your new employer may have you sign a contract.  Feel free to read it ove
