International Student Services Home
We welcome all international students and their families! Two thousand international students and their families representing more than 100 countries call the University of Oklahoma (OU) their home away from home. The OU Office of International Student Services (OU ISS) is here to support you!
OU ISS advises all F-1 and J-1 international students at OU on matters of immigration, student services, and general information. We work with international students, university faculty and staff, community members, and US federal agencies. The OU ISS office is a key university-wide resource for F and J federal immigration regulations, along with the benefits and restrictions associated with F and J visa status.
All new international students in both F and J status must check in with OU ISS upon arrival. Bring your passport and immigration documents (I-20 or DS2019, passport, visa, I-94) to our office to complete the check-in process.
We extend our best wishes to you for a successful program at OU!

The office of International Student Services will hold a makeup New International Student Orientation on Wednesday, September 10, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Sooner Room of the Oklahoma Memorial Union. If you you are a new or transfer international student and were unable to attend one of the earlier orientations due to a late arrival or a schedule conflict, you MUST attend the makeup orientation. Failure to do so could negatively impact your US visa status. Reserve your space in the makeup New International Student Orientation by sending an email to our office, placing "September 10 makeup orientation" in the subject line.
If you are a new international student and need to report your new US address to our office, or if you are a continuing international student and have moved, under US federal immigration regulations you must update your address with our office within ten days of the move.
