Global Diversity is Our Strength

At St. Edward’s, international students invigorate our learning and enrich our community. The many traditions, perspectives and experiences they bring to the hilltop strengthen our understanding of world cultures and events.

The International Student Services (ISS) Office supports and advocates for international students on campus. We advise on F/J visas, immigration regulations, life in the U.S., work authorization and more. ISS also sponsors activities and programs that foster intercultural sharing and learning. 

“Duration of Status” Rule Change Paused

 

On September 14th, a United States District Judge granted a nationwide preliminary injunction temporarily pausing the proposed changes to “duration of status” (D/S) for F and J nonimmigrants while litigation proceeds

International students will continue to be admitted to the United States for Duration of Status (D/S) and will continue to be able to make changes to their academic programs under the rules that were currently in place. ISS will continue to monitor developments and rulings related to the lawsuit closely and share timely updates as appropriate.
