International Student and Scholar Services

The Office of International Programs advises international students and scholars on issues related to their immigration status in the United States. Advisers assist with documentation, regulations, cultural adjustments, academic issues and other concerns. The office issues non-immigrant documents required by the U.S. government for persons with certain types of visas including F-1 (student) and J-1 (student and scholar). Advisers also prepare documents for travel, dependent travel, change of degree program, transfer of schools, extension of stay and employment options.

Pre-arrival information and mandatory orientation are held each spring and fall semester for new incoming students and scholars. Advisers help international visitors maintain their visa status for the duration of their time at the University. Workshops are held throughout the semester to educate students and scholars on employment and tax issues. More information is available at www.ut.edu/international.
