Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS)
The Office of International Students & Scholars (OISS) provides personalized, comprehensive guidance to international undergraduate and graduate students and exchange visitors at Manhattanville. We educate students about their rights and responsibilities relating to their specific visa status, counsel students during the cultural adjustment period and at key transition points, and link them to resources on our campus and in the surrounding community on an ongoing basis.
The OISS conducts orientation sessions for new undergraduate international students (first year 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, health insurance concerns, authorized employment and internships, and other related issues. We serve as an advocate for all students in non-immigrant status (A, F, G, J, L, etc.). The OISS can be reached at 914-323-5168 or www.mville.edu/oiss.
