Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS)
The Office of International Students & Scholars (OISS) provides comprehensive guidance to international undergraduate and graduate students and exchange visitors at Manhattanville. We advise students on their rights and responsibilities relating to their specific visa status, counsel students during the cultural adjustment period, and link students to services and activities on our campus and in the surrounding community (Center for Career Development, Counseling Center, banking, Social Security, DMV, etc.)
The OISS conducts orientation sessions for new undergraduate international students (freshmen and transfers) each fall. Throughout each year, we send e-mail alerts, offer workshops and advise individuals about immigration and travel matters, required income tax filings, authorized employment and internships, and other related issues. We administer the health insurance program for F-1 students and J-1 exchange visitors and serve as an advocate for all students in non-immigrant status (A, F, G, L, etc.). OISS is located in the Founder’s Gallery Rooms E&F, call 914-323-5168 or www.mville.edu/oiss.
