International Students

At BSC, the Office of Multicultural affairs works to make international students at home and helps with the immigration process and support through your time on campus.

BSC provides immigration advising services for international students and scholars for all aspects of their current status in order to facilitate arrival in the U.S. and integration into the campus community. If you are coming in as a student, you will receive a handbook during International Student Orientation with detailed information on maintaining status, employment, travel, and all other U.S. immigration policies. You can also schedule a one-on-one session with BSC’s international student coordinator to go over any questions you might have or for help maintaining your status while in the U.S.

Notes:

BSC is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. The Designated School Officials (DSOs) and Responsible Officers (ROs) also advise the institution on immigration compliance issues.
Staff members are only authorized to provide immigration advice to BSC faculty, staff and students. Individuals not affiliated with BSC should direct their inquiries to an immigration attorney.
U.S. permanent residents (green card holders), asylees, and refugees are not considered international students for admission purposes but can get help from the Office of Admission.
