The primary goal of the Office of International Students and Scholar Services is to
assist Hopkins' international community to acquire and maintain the appropriate
visa status, and cope with the challenges of making a transition from one
setting to another.
Our staff is prepared to help with issues you may
face daily in adapting to an academically and culturally different environment.
When you reach the Homewood campus, OISSS staff should be your first source of
important information. Therefore, it is necessary that you meet us soon after
your arrival at Johns Hopkins University.
OISSS Staff members can answer
your questions and advise you about immigration regulations, financial concerns,
health matters, housing, employment possibilities, and other issues relating to
your period of stay in the United States.
Johns Hopkins University
offers a wide range of student services at Homewood, and when necessary, OISSS
will refer you to other offices that can more fully address your needs and
concerns.
We here at Johns Hopkins University look forward with much
anticipation to your arrival. It is our sincere hope that your educational
experience will be both enriching and rewarding.
