Our Mission: The Office of International Student and Scholar Services supports international students and scholars educational and professional goals and outcomes throughout their immigration life cycle by ensuring compliance with federal regulations and university policy through advising and advocacy.

Our Vision: To be the leading campus authority on immigration regulations for all international students, faculty, and staff by providing high quality advising services and advocacy.

The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Team proudly supports and advocates for all international students and scholars at Missouri S&T. It is our goal to be the center for all support that our international students, staff, and faculty need. The ISSS Office not only supports University Goals and Initiatives but also works with the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to ensure visa compliance for all F-1 and J-1 Students and Scholars. 

Our office assists with the requirements to maintain F-1 or J-1 visa status monitored by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State. Visa Categories can be found on the NAFSA Immigration Classifications and Employment Chart.

ISSS has created a reference NAFSA Visa Chart for your review.
