The International Students and Scholars’ (ISS) staff will be working remotely for the Spring 2021 semester.
Please see our ISS COVID-19 page for further information.
TRAVEL ALERT: ISS strongly discourages travel due to the changing nature of U.S. immigration policy and the COVID-19 pandemic. All international faculty, students and staff should inform us of any international travel so we can advise on possible implications to study and employment.
