International

Welcome

Students from approximately 100 countries attend SCAD 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.

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 international student services office advisers who address questions concerning academics, university 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.

Annual events and activities include movie nights, shopping trips, community service programs, cultural outings, trips to Savannah and Atlanta, the International Festival on Broughton Street, the Taste of the World food festival, ski trips to North Carolina, excursions to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and white water rafting in Tennessee.
