International Student and Scholar Services
Our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office guides students and scholars through the process of obtaining an I-20 or DS-2019
in order to apply for their visas. ISSS also advises on issues such as immigration status, employment authorization, and other student and scholar visa-related matters.
