International Student Support

Green script text stating "A warm world welcome and introduction"We look forward to welcoming you in-person and assisting you through out your journey at USF.

As your International Student Support (ISS) Team, we are here to support you through your pre-arrival requirements, which may include tasks related to immunizations, health insurance, housing, and orientation. Our aim is to help you resolve all these requirements, so that you can register for classes early and move-in to your on-campus housing accommodations without any problems.

When you arrive at USF, your International Student Support Team will also be instrumental in linking you to information and services on-campus and in the Tampa Bay area to help you adapt to the university environment and thrive as a student.

Your International Student Support Team currently includes the following staff members:
