International compliance with care

The Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) is dedicated to fostering an environment that celebrates our international students’ and scholars’ experiences, cultures and aspirations. OISS plays a pivotal role in cultivating a vibrant, intercultural atmosphere on our campus, extending support to international students, scholars, faculty and staff through immigration sponsorship. Our commitment is to ensure a seamless integration process for those who are admitted, appointed or employed by WashU.
