Coming to a large university, and adapting to a new country and culture, can be a challenge. Fortunately, UC Davis will help you make the transition to living and studying in the U.S. with a number of resources designed to address the concerns of international students.

Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS) facilitates the integration of international students and scholars into the campus community. SISS serves over 4,000 international students, faculty, and researchers and their accompanying family members who come to UC Davis each year. A major role for SISS is to assist international students and scholars with visa and immigration issues while they are at UC Davis. In addition to preparing the necessary documents to apply for a U.S. visa, SISS assists international students and scholars in maintaining their legal status while in the United States. SISS also provides orientation, assistance, information, and referral to international students, faculty, and researchers regarding financial, personal, cultural, and academic concerns.
