Dear International Students and Scholars,
We are pleased to announce that ISSS will begin to offer “walk-in” advising services to the international student and scholar population effective Tuesday, July 5th. During walk-in advising times, you can meet with an ISSS advisor
to discuss routine questions you may have for ISSS, without having an appointment. Advisors can allot around 20 minutes, which is sufficient time to discuss most ISSS matters.
ISSS will not process any benefit requests during walk-in advising hours (e.g. travel signatures, CPT applications, OPT applications). Please continue to submit all applications to the ISSS front desk, or by emailing the request to
[log in to unmask] if you are unable to visit the Storrs campus.
“Walk-ins” can visit ISSS during the following times to meet with an ISSS advisor:
Monday – 1 pm to 3:30 pm
Tuesday – 9 am to 11:30 am
Wednesday – 9 am to 11:30 am
Thursday – 9 am to 11:30 am
Friday – 1 pm to 3:30 pm
Moving forward, students and scholars should plan to meet with advisors during walk-in advising times, which is a change from the appointment system that has been in place. However, if you have a more complicated situation to discuss with
an ISSS advisor that you expect could take longer, we suggest that you email an international advisor to set up an appointment. Please see the contact list below to see who you should email based on your academic program or visa type, and please include in
your email the topic that you need to discuss:
