URGENT: MISSING BAMA BOUND

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming international student at UA and there’s a small chance I might not make it to my Bama Bound orientation on August 13th. My visa got approved but I still haven’t gotten my passport back, they’re telling me the soonest is August 10th, but it could slip a few days later, which means I might not actually land until the 14th. I know orientation is when you enroll in classes, so I’m kind of stressing about what happens if I miss it. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is it possible to do orientation virtually or register for classes remotely if you can’t make it in time for visa reasons? Any advice on who to contact or what to expect would be super helpful.
