About the ISSS Office

The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office provides support to international students and scholars engaged in academic activities at the University of North Texas System and serves as the primary campus resource on immigration matters pertaining to all non-immigrant visa types.

The key role for ISSS is to ensure compliance with federal regulations and the agencies that govern international education. ISSS provides quality advising, education, and services in support of these regulations to the University community.

The ISSS staff is committed to helping university students, scholars, faculty and staff with their immigration questions.  Immigration is complex and ever-changing, so please feel free to consult us.
