Welcome!

As part of Northwestern’s Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, the Office of International Student & Scholar Services (OISS) advances globalization by supporting international students and scholars through orientation, immigration services, advocacy, and outreach. OISS is committed to providing culturally sensitive services of the highest quality. We strive to create an environment conducive to successful educational, personal, and professional experiences.

Whether you are a prospective student, an employee, a student already enrolled in an academic program, a visitor, a department contact, or a member of the greater-Northwestern community, we hope to provide you with information, services, and answers to your questions.

Our Role

We serve Northwestern's international student and scholar population.

The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (OISS) maintains annual statistics and trends on Northwestern's international student, employee, and visitor population. These reports are a snapshot of the international community at Northwestern from the past several years, typically published in the Spring term.
