The Office of Admissions works with international students through the admission process including collecting all application materials, rendering admission decisions, sending the I-20 form, and determining if previous course credits are transferable. The Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) assists new students and their families with their transition to campus. Services include orientation programs and guidance on the process for obtaining a visa and maintaining a legal immigration status in the United States. Please contact the appropriate office when inquiring about these topics.

For further assistance with the application process and information specific to your country, please contact your local U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or Office of Public Affairs for a referral to an overseas educational advising center near you. You may also consult EducationUSA, a global network of more than 450 advising centers supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.
