The Office of International Student Services helps nonimmigrant
international students with issues of special concern to them. It also
serves these students as a referral source to other university offices,
academic departments, and outside agencies. The office provides direct
support with employment, immigration, personal, and other matters. In
addition, it sponsors a variety of programs throughout the year.
Advice on immigration includes both general information on students`
rights and responsibilities as well as assistance with special
problems, procedures, and documents. The office can help students with
paperwork required to transfer between schools, get extensions of stay,
obtain work permits, and acquire practical training experience. Staff
members also provide support and advice on such matters as adjustment
to life in the United States, cross-cultural differences, family
concerns, health care and insurance, and other personal issues. The
office is located at Smith Hall, Room 235. For additional information,
call 973/353-1427.
