Office of International Students and Scholars
The Office of International Students & Scholars (OISS) provides assistance to international students (undergraduate, graduate, English Language Institute students and alumni) in many ways. Its staff counsels students on immigration matters, administers health insurance, provides tax information, assists with social security enrollment and guides students through the cultural adjustment process. The office also connects students to other services and activities available on the campus and in the community. The staff also educates students about their rights and responsibilities while in F-1 or J-1 student status. The OISS acts as an advocate for all students in non-immigrant status (i.e., F-1, A-1, G-1, E-2, L-2).
It is anticipated that by Fall 2014 Manhattanville will participate in the State Department’s J-1 Exchange Visitors Program and will provide services for incoming Exchange Visitor faculty in J-1 status.
