Mission

The mission of the Office of International Student Services is to assist students, especially students from abroad, in achieving their educational goals and to provide all Xavier students opportunities for growth through cross-cultural interaction.  The office provides orientation, adjustment services, information dissemination, programming activities, and serves as an advocate for international students on Xavier's campus.

The Office of International Student Services

The Office of International Student Services (OISS) exists to assist international students throughout their academic careers at Xavier University. OISS offers orientation and adjustment services, immigration coordination, cross-cultural programming and international events and activities.

Currently, Xavier University hosts approximately 120 international students. OISS staff members help these students with their initial adjustment to the University and Cincinnati, assist them throughout their entire stay by providing social, cultural and educational programs, and by answering questions and giving advice about personal concerns, cultural differences, immigration regulations, and financial matters.

OISS works closely with faculty, staff, campus organizations and community groups to ensure that international students, scholars, and their families have the greatest opportunity to achieve their academic and personal goals.

OISS serves as the focal point on campus that deals with the special needs, questions and concerns of those who come to Xavier University from abroad.

The Romero International Center

The office is in the Romero International Center, located on the second floor of  the Gallagher Student Center.  Students come to the Romero International Center to get assistance with their concerns, to participate in scheduled activities, to check their e-mail, eat lunch, or to visit with other students.
