Welcome to ISS

The ISS staff provides information and programs to international students about the campus and community and provide support and assistance concerning visas and related immigration issues.

Please pardon us while we upgrade

Dear students,

ISS is currently working on implementing an online system called Terra Dotta. You will soon receive an email notification inviting you to start using Terra Dotta to submit requests. We are working to provide a seamless transition while honoring our current processing time. We strongly encourage you to plan ahead and allow for any unexpected delays as we transition to this new system.

We strongly encourage you to use online resources such as our website; Study in the States; the STEM OPT Hub; and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program Travel and Transfer pages.

Thank you for your patience as we work on these improvements.

Sincerely,

International Student Services
