Applicants wishing to enroll in degree programs should first contact the Application Office, which can answer any questions relating to the application process (required documents and grades for acceptance, tuition, etc.), accept applications, and issue enrollment orders. Upon your acceptance to Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, you may apply for a dormitory room. The Student Management Office will help students with this. They find places in the dormitory located next to the academic building for foreign students. In addition, the Student Management Office coordinates various student and social projects, initiatives by young people, and the activities of student and volunteer organizations at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.

The International Relations and Protocol Office issues invitations for visas, handles your registration at the place of residence, and helps with applying for visa extension and adjusting to life at the university and in the city.

At the beginning of each semester, the International Relations and Protocol Office arranges an Orientation Week for international students. Orientation Week lasts for 5 days and includes visits to all study buildings, a tour around the city, basics of the Russian culture and language and migration laws, and meetings with other international students, the tutoring team, and the International Relations and Protocol Office staff. Orientation Week is structured in a game-like and interactive format that helps students gain the basic knowledge that is required to live in Russia.

The university has established a tutorship where senior students help newly enrolled international students with adaptation. Each academic group of international students will be assigned a tutor to supervise the group. Tutors help new students with the following:

1. Tell them how to get to the university from the airport/railway station, how to get a place in a dormitory, what documents are needed to register with the migration authorities, etc.
2. Help them get acquainted with the city and the university.
3. Help them socialize (inviting them to participate in university and city events and meetings with international students and their tutors).

International students will receive booklets of the university, city maps, and other information materials.

The International Relations and Protocol Office of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University provides our graduates with a European-type Diploma Supplement in which all credits are recorded. Diploma Supplements are issued in English upon issuance of general Diploma Certificates. The Diploma Supplement officially confirms a qualification awarded and may be submitted to a foreign university as part of an application to a post-graduate program.

Upon completion of an exchange program, students who have studied at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University for 1 or 2 semesters will be issued a Transcript of Records. The Transcript of Records contains information in English on all courses taken, credits earned, and final grades.
