Become a Host Family for an International Student

As we near the end of the spring semester, it is already time to think about the Class of 2021. JCU’s international class is growing with each day and we need host families to help welcome them to our campus. As a host family, the required time commitment is very little. New international students will arrive August 15 and 16. We ask that host families, at minimum, provide transportation to shopping so that students can buy necessary items and help them to set up their dorm rooms by August 17.
