Office of International Programs
Starting January 1, 2019, the Office of International Programs (OIP) will not assume liability of receiving student mail from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and other government agencies for standard OPT, STEM OPT, and change of status applications. Henceforth, students should list their mailing addresses for these purposes. Mails sent to OIP will be returned to the original sender. Thank you.
Mission
The mission of the Office of International Programs is multifaceted as it fulfills a mandate to provide the campus a fully integrated and comprehensive international activity support architecture, which at a minimum includes: international recruiting, study and travel abroad, risk assessment and management, international student advising, international student retention activities, advancement activities, international student advocacy, and community outreach.
The Office of International Programs is comprised of two major components: the Office of International Programs (international recruiting, study and travel abroad, risk assessment and management, advancement activities, international student advocacy, and community outreach) and the International Student and Scholar Services (immigration advising, immigration document processing, international student advising, international student retention activities, and international student advocacy).
