Quick Questions: International students and scholars may visit ISSS Storrs during walk-in hours with quick questions, daily from 1:00 – 3:30 pm. ISSS Stamford and Hartford have different walk-in advising hours- visit ISSS Stamford and ISSS Hartford for details. During walk-in advising, international advisors are available to answer basic questions about working on or off-campus, CPT, OPT, driver’s licenses, social security numbers, program extensions, travel, taking a reduced course load, and more.

Advising Appointments: For more complex matters, please make an appointment with your international advisor (for example, changing visa status, academic problems, health and wellness matters, withdrawing from the University or taking a leave of absence).
