International Students

Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is a type of off-campus work permission available to certain eligible F-1 students. CPT is described by USCIS as employment which is “an integral part of an established curriculum.” CPT is not to be used merely to facilitate employment for the international student.
SSN
A Social Security Number, or SSN, is needed for all international students who are paid a salary through student employment or graduate financial aid.
Visit the OIS’s Social Security Number page to find out how to obtain one.
Visas
The OIS helps with visas: J-1, F-1, and others.
Travel Registry
The International Travel Registry provides an easy-to-use way for those traveling internationally on university-related business to register their travel plans.
In partnership with International SOS, registered travelers will receive assistance with pre-travel preparations, including notifications about the destination country, risks, and prevention measures.
Be sure to create your own Travel Profile so staff can contact and support you in the event that there is a natural disaster, political unrest or other emergency situation in locations where you travel.
