International Students & Scholars
The International Center provides services for international students and scholars including admission information, immigration advising, orientation for new arrivals, personal counseling, housing assistance, identifying scholarships, and advising and support for the American International Relations Club (AIRC). Program activities include the annual AIRC International Banquet, seasonal activities, the Contact Family Program, Kansai Gaidai December home stay, and monthly International Teas.
How the program works
The International Center is your primary liaison with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State. International Center staff members are well-informed about general immigration regulations and can advise students on proper compliance with DHS procedures. Students should make an appointment with the International Student Advisors to discuss specific questions or concerns. It is important that the students do not rely on the advice of friends regarding immigration matters. Situations often vary, so the International Center should be contacted on all matters that might affect a visa status. Students should consult with the International Center before doing anything that might jeopardize the right to remain in the U.S., such as beginning a new degree objective, changing marital status or sponsors, transfering schools, leaving the U.S. (even to Tijuana), or securing employment.
