International Student and Scholar Services provides a wide array of advising services and programs to 1,600 international students regarding visa and immigration matters, academic support and success, and social and cultural adjustment.

Primary programs include pre-arrival resources, a comprehensive on-campus orientation attended by more than 500 students each year; personal immigration advising; scholarships and financial aid; and a peer mentor program that brings together newly arrived international students and returning students.

International Student and Scholar Services is a long-time partner of the Friendship Foundation for International Students, a local community organization that coordinates short-term home stays, cultural conversations, and friendship programs. The unit also administers $1 million worth of scholarship programs for international students, among them the award-winning International Cultural Service Program, Global Corners International Student Recruitment and Retention awards, international work-study assistance, and other resources.

In addition, International Student and Scholar Services offers services to 250 visiting international researchers, faculty and staff members, including advising on a wide range of immigration, employment, and adjustment matters.
