Residential Life

A variety of activities are planned for incoming students to get them used to the campus and the facilities. An IAU representative will meet the students at the Airport. Students are advised to provide detailed travel information to the Dallas office prior to their travel. Faculty maintains extended office hours to support students. Campus facilities, such as the library and Learning Resource Center, are open for extended periods to provide quiet study areas.

New Student Orientation

Students usually arrive in St. Lucia a day or two prior to the two-day orientation which occurs on the weekend before classes begin.

In addition to being assisted with selecting the appropriate housing, students are supplied with a large amount of information from both the IAU staff and local government officials. Orientation helps students become accquainted with, and acclimatized to, living in St. Lucia and the study of medicine.

White Coat Ceremony

First semester students are welcomed into their clinical studies at the White Coat Ceremony.

The ceremony includes a formal cloaking of students in their white coats to signify their journey towards a medical career. Students should have a short white lab coat to put on during the ceremony.

Speak With Current Students

The best way to learn about living in St. Lucia is by talking with our current students. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of our IAU Student Ambassadors.
