The Center for International Faculty and Student Services, 180
College Avenue (732/932-7015), coordinates services for the
university`s international students, scholars, and faculty. The center
provides direct support in the following areas: U.S. immigration
regulations and procedures; liaison to campus offices, community
groups, and U.S. and foreign government agencies; and advice on
nonimmigrant status, employment, medical care, adjustment to American
life, cross-cultural differences, family concerns, financial planning,
and other personal matters. In addition, the center sponsors programs
of interest to the international community, including a comprehensive
orientation, a community-based International Friendship Program that
gives students the opportunity to get to know American families,
informational and cross-cultural seminars, and a variety of support
programs for students and their families.
To ensure personal
contact, all international students are assigned an international
student adviser at the center and are encouraged to establish and
maintain a close working relationship with center staff throughout
their stay at Rutgers.
Nonimmigrant students in F-1 or J-1
status must register with the center upon arrival and inform the center
of any change in their academic program, address, or enrollment status.
All questions regarding one's status as a foreign student or exchange
visitor in the United States are addressed to this office.
