Serving International Students
- : Office of International Programs (OIP)
- LSU International Programs is the University's center for a variety of vital activities designed to make LSU a global campus. This office oversees the International Cultural Center (ICC), the International Services Office (ISO), the Academic Program Abroad (APA), and the Internatinoal Development (ID) initiative.
- : International Services Office (ISO)
- The International Services Office (ISO) provides advisory services to international students regarding their educational, financial, immigration, personal and social concerns. 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.
More specifically, the ISO serves as the final phase of the admission of international applicants by determining their compliance with University and/or U.S. government regulations, laws and policies, and their ability to finance their program of study or research at LSU. The ISO also determines eligibility for applicants and their dependents to receive non-immigrant documentation for F-, J-, H-, E, TN- or O- visa status.
The ISO prepares all documents necessary for international students, faculty and staff 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.
- : International HospitalityFoundation (IHF)
- The International Hospitality Foundation (IHF) links the Baton Rouge community and LSU's international students in friendship and intercultural exchange. They sponsor numerous events each semester, and run the "Loan Closet" to help International Students have access to household goods and supplies they might need.
