Welcome! The University community and, in particular, the International Student and Scholar Services office staff are very happy that you have selected USF to pursue your education.
One role of the ISSS office is to assist international students and scholars so they can obtain the best possible experience from their stay at USF.
If you have questions regarding how to obtain a student visa, how to pay the SEVIS fee, housing, health insurance, what to bring to the United States, etc. refer to the Pre-departure and Arrival Information. You may also download the ISSS Handbook in PDF format, which has answers to most international student and immigration related questions.
Important information about Health Insurance for international students available here.
International Student Orientation (ISO) is a chance to meet new people and learn more about San Francisco and USF. Attendance at ISO is mandatory for all new international students to USF. Learn more about International Student Orientation.
Please plan your trip accordingly so that you arrive in San Francisco before orientation begins. We look forward to seeing you at orientation!
