We look forward to welcoming you!

This guide helps with additional tasks that international students need to do once you confirm that you're coming to York. It should be read along with our information for [new undergraduates](https://www.york.ac.uk/students/new/undergraduate/) or [new postgraduates](https://www.york.ac.uk/students/new/postgraduate/).

## At-a-glance: what you need to do

Just want to know what you need to do and when?
