Student Services

WELCOME !

The City University of New York (CUNY) is home to approximately 11,000+ international students in F and J status representing more than 100 countries.  The University values its diversified student population. As a result, CUNY is committed to assist international students in adjusting to the academic requirements and to the cultural practices of the University by creating a supportive environment that is conducive to the students’ needs. The area of International Student and Scholar Services strives to position CUNY as a “World-Class” institution.  The goal and objective of this office and in alignment with the CUNY Master Plan, is to work in tandem with campus administrators and:

• Ensure the University's compliance with all international student immigration regulations as mandated by the federal government, including SEVIS - Student Exchange Visitor Information System requirements, and;

• Help international students overcome any academic, personal development,  and cultural barriers by creating a supportive environment.

The staff also initiates, coordinates, and sponsors student development activities around issues that will enable them to become effective global citizens in the current global environment.
