The International Community Services Office (ICO) welcomes you to Koç University and wishes you success in your new path. With our services and resources, we cater to Koç University’s international population at large. On this page, you can browse information about our orientation programs, pre-arrival messages, and orientation activities. All incoming international faculty, staff, and students go through a welcome orientation by their respective departments at KU. The ICO offers a separate orientation for all newcomer internationals. As a new member of the KU community, please check your emails frequently for orientation and other important information.

Feel free to reach out to us through the Dean of Students Trackit / ICO Requests when you are not sure about something or need assistance. If you feel the need, you may also request a meeting with us.
