International Students
Where do I find information specific to foreign students?
The Office for International services has an excellent web page with plenty of useful information. Go to www.fordham.edu/ois and click "Office for International Services" to learn more about:
- Immigration and Visa matters
- Housing
- Transporation
- Health Services
- Social Security Numbers
- Banking
- Driving
What is the most effective way to communicate with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences?
Please send us an email. It is more effective than a phone call because different time zones and holidays make it difficult to find the best time for a phone call. Our offices respond to emails very promptly.
I received financial aid and don't know how to complete the payroll forms that I received. What do I do?
Fill out only what you can. When you arrive at Fordham please visit the Office of Academic Programs and Support (Keating 216) where you will receive instructions. The deadlines in these specific forms do not apply to foreign students.
