ISS serves SNHU by providing support in three broad areas: immigration, transition support and advising, and intercultural learning. We provide immigration services and transition support to international students, scholars, and their dependents, working in tandem with International Admissions, Campus Involvement, Advising, Career Services, Residence Life, and other units on campus to create the best possible experience.

 

Starting with a comprehensive orientation program when students first arrive, ISS supports the transition of international students to campus and the US by providing immigration advising on maintaining legal status, travel documents, enrollment certification, information about applying for a Social Security number and driver's licenses, practical training assistance and cross-cultural adjustment workshops and counseling for international students to help them succeed at SNHU.

 

ISS also acts as a resource to SNHU faculty and staff allies on issues of international student immigration, transition, and adjustment.

We also provide opportunities for intercultural learning to the broader campus community by partnering with the student-led International Student Association, various campus departments, and the greater Manchester community. These events include International Education Week, International Women’s Day, the International Gala, intercultural competency training workshops, International Friends, Thanksgiving Hosts, SNHU Cousins, and a host of other activities that provide opportunities for people of all backgrounds to engage in mutual understanding.
