International Advising

What We Do

We consider every international student and scholar a valued member of the Union community with unique needs and experiences. The International Advising Office supports students and scholars in F-1 and J-1 status, whether they are at Union for one term or four years.

We provide guidance on maintaining immigration status and complying with U.S. regulations, issue immigration documents and letters – including I-20s, DS-2019s, travel signatures, and employment- and travel-related documentation – and help students and scholars navigate life in the United States. We also connect our international community with campus resources and opportunities to support their success and make the most of their Union experience.
