International Students

The Office of International Student Services (OISS) recently changed their name to International Student & Scholar Affairs (ISSA)

ISSA provides the following services: 

  •  Assistance with immigration compliance. 

  • Supporting the international student and scholar experience more broadly. 

  • Offering guidance with different US systems that both students and scholars need to navigate. 

  •  Providing support through cultural transition and community building. 


For more information, visit the ISSA website.

Coming to RISD from afar can be a challenge.

ISE is committed to supporting the international student population. Stop by our office to learn how we can help you have a smooth transition to campus. 

​

If you have ideas for cross-culture events, please email ise@risd.edu. We are happy to partner with students, faculty, and staff to provide fun, informative events.
