International Student Services

Overview

Students from approximately 80 countries attend the Savannah College of Art and Design to take advantage of the unique learning environment offered. Full-time advisers assist with the transition of international students into American culture and the college environment. Orientation for new international students takes place at the beginning of each term and is coordinated by ISSO advisers.

All students are encouraged to participate in the activities planned by the Intercultural Student Association, formed to promote cross-cultural contact and communication among students and the community.

Orientation for new international students takes place at the beginning of each quarter and is coordinated by ISSO advisers who address questions concerning academics, college life, cross-cultural issues, employment, health care, housing, safety, immigration, insurance, scholarships, taxes, travel and personal matters. The advisers inform international students about upcoming events and changes in immigration or visa-related regulations.
