The service will open following the usual set of new student orientation events which will be held on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The One Stop Service will be conducted in the Concourse located on C level. The dates and times of operation are:
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. *

Friday, August 21, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

The purpose of the One Stop Service is to gather in a central locale key staff from various offices such as: Human Resources, Provost, Registrar, International Students,

- Enrolling in NYSHIP (student health insurance), its benefits and who is eligible
- How to get on the payroll for Graduate Assistantships, including H.R. orientations, when students may expect to be paid, receiving and returning appointment letters, fellowship service requirement and assignments.
- How international students acquire a social security card.
- Understanding a 5 Year Financial Aid Package.
- How to apply for a student loan or a financial advance.
- Benefits of the Wellness Center and related services.
- Issues related to registration.
- How to establish New York State residency.
