International Student and Scholar Services

International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), located on the 3rd floor of Oregon Hall, supports over 2,500 international students and approximately 275 visiting scholars and faculty each year.

ISSS serves international students, scholars, and faculty at UO by supporting them to obtain their highest academic and professional goals.

ISSS offers support on many matters to the international community. As a home away from home, students and scholars can come to us for help with any of their questions or just to sit and chat. As part of our support we offer students and scholars:

  • Immigration advising
  • Advise and understanding on adjusting to the U.S. culture
  • Tax support
  • Work authorization support
  • Advising on academic English requirements
  • Orientation programs
  • Scholarships and financial aid
  • Short term homestay programs

ISO (International Student Orientation)

International Student Orientation (ISO) is required for new students. You must attend all orientation days in person. During ISO you will have a chance to get acquainted with the campus, learn about the student services available to you, take placement tests, meet with an Academic Advisor, register for classes, and much more. You'll also make lots of new friends!

Teaching & Learning Center

Overcoming obstacles to effective teaching and learning often requires more than teachers and students can accomplish individually. Programs, workshops, courses, tutors, and mentors are among the many resources we provide to help with educational pursuits at the University of Oregon. TLC offers Math Help, Writing Help, 1:1 tutoring, and more!

ISAB (International Student Advisory Board)

The international student advisory board reports directly to the director of International Student and Scholar Services.  It advises about services and programs such as the peer mentor program, writing labs, fieldtrips and recreational programs, and the overall international student experience at the University.
