Pre-Arrival Checklist

• Make housing arrangements prior to your arrival in Moscow.

• Email your travel plans to alcp@uidaho.edu two weeks before your arrival.  If you are flying into the Moscow-Pullman aiport (airport code PUW), you may request to be picked up from the airport.  We do not pick up students from the Spokane airport.

• If you are sponsored by an organization, notify this organization of your plans.

• Make travel arrangements to arrive on campus at least one day before orientation.

• Buy traveler's checks to cover costs on the way to the university and during your first month in the U.S.  Keep the receipt separate from the traveler’s checks.

• Get copies of medical records, x-rays, and prescriptions.  Also, have prescriptions written in English and in generic terms.

• Label your luggage inside and outside, with the IPO address in Moscow.

• Carry all legal documents (passport, I-20, financial docs.) on your person, not in your luggage!  You will need these to clear Customs.

• Check with the airlines about their luggage policy and reconfirm your flight reservations 72 hours before departure.

• Leave a contact number at home of someone you know in Moscow, or your department.  If you do not know anyone to contact, please use the International Programs Office phone number (208/885-8984) in case of emergencies.
