The University's International Student & Scholar Center (ISSC) offers ongoing support with visas and other immigration-related documentation that students require while studying at the University. ISSC staff also provide general advice and assistance with campus life and personal needs. Workshops pertaining to employment, taxes and other subjects of particular interest to international students are held during the academic year.
