The International Services Office (ISO) provides primarily immigration advisory services to international students regarding their educational, financial, immigration, personal and social concerns in relation to their status in the US. Similar services are available to international faculty and research scholars. The ISO is responsible for the University's compliance with federal regulations which pertain to non-immigrant students and employees.
The ISO prepares all documents necessary for international students, faculty and staff sponsored by the university to achieve and/or maintain proper non-immigrant status in the U.S. and conducts orientation programs for all new international students and scholars. All non-immigrant students seeking permission to work on or off campus must receive approval and/or recommendation from this office.
The office also assists with campus intercultural activities that contribute to the cultural environment of the community. The ISO assists the University's international student services and programs. It serves as liaison to community organizations, faculty and student groups, and governmental and private agencies.
