Immigration Advising
The office also provides advice, information and services related to your student visa and immigration status in the United States. Our role in International Student Affairs is to assist you to maintain your legal status; but please be advised that maintaining your legal status is your own responsibility. International Student Affairs staff are available for immigration advising on a walk-in basis or at a scheduled appointment during regular office hours. We recommend an individual appointment.

Interested in being a host to an international student?
You can learn about another culture and provide a welcoming environment to an international student if you own your home and can provide a private bedroom for the student for a minimum of one semester. Hosts receive a monthly fee, determined by the college, from the student.
