The International Services Office advocates for and advises the international student population at the University of New Haven on U.S. immigration and visa-related issues. In addition to federally required immigration services, the ISO provides information, resources, immigration guidance, tips, and advice that can help our international students succeed.

The ISO promotes and celebrates individuals in an intercultural environment. The ISO is a center where international students can seek advice on the intersection of academic and U.S. immigration regulations, as well as social and acculturation issues. In addition, the ISO provides orientations and workshops on topics of interest, such as immigration requirements, employment, and cross-cultural communication. Finally, the ISO exposes the University of New Haven community to the international

population through the annual International Festival and other programs and events. WELCOME! Our overall vision is to foster global awareness throughout the University community.
