University Attributes

The Office of International Student Services (OISS) provides a campus community that values diversity and promotes global education and cross-cultural understanding; programs and services that promote academic as well as personal growth and development of international students; and encourages positive interactions among foreign and domestic students. We enroll students from Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, and the Caribbean. The Office of International Student Services supports international students on a variety of levels and provides guidance on the following:

* Financial, academic, social and personal matters
* Immigration rules, regulations, and responsibilities
* Campus and community activities
* Cultural concerns
* Preparation and processing of immigration documents
* An orientation for new students

Every new international student enrolled at DSU is required to attend the International Student Orientation which helps students adjust to a new academic system, a new culture, and a new community. Even if you have had prior experience in the United States, it is crucial that students par take in this orientation as previous participants have enjoyed the time to meet other international students and get acquainted with new surroundings.

The OISS is located in the Delaware Hall, Room 231. We encourage all students, faculty and staff to contact our office on international related issues regarding F-1 students. We will be happy to assist in any way we can.
