First Day & Orientation at ISI Dublin<\/h1>\n

Your first day is designed to confirm your academic placement, introduce the school and give you the practical information needed to begin your Academic Year confidently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before your first day<\/h2>\n

Keep your passport and Letter of Acceptance accessible and follow any arrival instructions provided by ISI before the course begins.<\/p>\n

If you have booked school accommodation, make sure you also understand your accommodation arrival details separately.<\/p>\n

Arrival at the school<\/h2>\n

New students complete the relevant arrival and orientation process at ISI. The exact first-day organisation can vary, so follow the information sent for your booking rather than relying on an old student schedule found online.<\/p>\n

Academic placement<\/h2>\n

You complete an academic assessment with the Academic Department so your English level and class placement can be confirmed.<\/p>\n

This individual placement process is important because Academic Year courses can include students across a wide range of CEFR levels.<\/p>\n

Orientation<\/h2>\n

Orientation covers the main school procedures, attendance expectations and practical information you need to start your course.<\/p>\n

Your timetable<\/h2>\n

Make sure you understand your confirmed timetable \u2014 AY15 Morning, AY15 Afternoon or AY20 Morning \u2014 and how to find the relevant classroom.<\/p>\n

Questions after orientation<\/h2>\n

You are not expected to remember everything immediately. Academic, accommodation, work-support and administrative questions can be directed to the relevant team as they arise.<\/p>\n

Practical next steps in Dublin<\/h2>\n

Depending on your personal situation, the first weeks may also include organising your phone, learning your transport route, completing immigration registration, applying for a PPS Number when you have a valid reason and beginning a job search.<\/p>\n
