International Students at UCR
The International Students and Scholars office supports and promotes the success, wellness and personal growth of the international students and scholars through expert advising, intercultural programming, and advocacy.
We create a safe and welcoming environment that respects cultural diversity and fosters intercultural skills and communication across campus. All UCR students are welcome to get involved with our intercultural programs! We are also happy to assist faculty and staff who are exploring ways to support our growing international student population.
ISS strongly recommends that international students and scholars avoid international travel at this time unless it is absolutely necessary, and only if you have an entry visa that will be valid at the time you plan to reenter the United States. Changes to U.S. government policies and regulations are unpredictable and may affect your ability to return.
If you do choose to travel, please be aware that visa appointment availability may be limited, and you may be subject to increased administrative scrutiny (social media), which could significantly delay your return to the United States and to UCR. In addition, current travel bans and restrictions may prevent reentry altogether.
Students and scholars who believe they must travel outside the United States are strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment with an ISS advisor prior to departure.
