COVID-19 Travel Restrictions & Other Information

The Office of International Services is operating remotely until further notice. While our services are now being offered remotely to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we will strive to provide continuity as we all navigate the changes in our lives and adjust to a new way of working and learning.

Determining Your Advising Needs

International Students: International Student Advisors and Sponsored Student Advisors are available for in-person and phone appointments and drop-in advising each weekday. If you would like to discuss matters related to the financial sponsorship you are receiving from a government agency, company, home embassy, or home university (including questions about negotiating with your sponsor, billing, holds, letter requests, financial guarantees, etc.), please schedule directly with our Sponsored Student Advisors.

Workshops are offered periodically throughout the term, with notifications sent via email. Online workshops are available through your Canvas account and you may register online through our appointment scheduler for the OPT workshop.

International Employees & Exchange Visitors (Scholars): Our International Employee and Exchange Visitors section offers immigration expertise and supports OSU's hiring of international professionals, faculty, and employees, and hosting of international exchange visitors.
