Latest News About International Student And Scholar Services

I can help with a quick update on International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), but I don’t currently have live access to the latest newsroom feeds in this turn. Here’s what’s generally common across ISSS offices and what to look for to get the latest news:

• ISSS newsletters and updates: Many universities publish weekly or periodic updates to inform international students about immigration policy changes, deadlines, tax resources, events, and travel document guidance. Checking the ISSS section of your university’s site or the student portal often yields the latest issue or archive.
• Immigration policy alerts: ISSS offices commonly issue alerts when there are changes from USCIS, the Department of State, or other relevant agencies that could affect visa status, travel, or employment authorization. These are typically posted on their COVID-era or immigration-news pages or sent via email to international students.
• Campus events and support: Look for announcements about workshops (e.g., SEVIS check-ins, travel signatures, CPT/OPT information sessions), language/cultural exchange events, and drop-in advising hours.

How to find the latest:

• Go to your university’s International Students and Scholars Services or Office of International Students page.
• Look for sections labeled News, Updates, or Immigration News; or search for “ISSS weekly update” or “immigration updates.”
• Check the student portal or MyCampus/Student Life dashboards for push notices or calendar events.

If you tell me which university you’re at (for example, University of Minnesota, University of Iowa, or another), I can guide you to the exact page and summarize the most recent items there. I can also help draft a quick email to ISSS if you’ve got urgent questions about your status or travel plans.
