International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)

Coronavirus Updates:

ISSS has recently received several questions regarding the university’s decision to move to remote instruction until April 3, as well as other immigration related matters in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak. While we may not have all the answers yet, we have compiled a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) that may offer some clarity on both immigration and non-immigration related issues. (Updated March 18, 2020)
