International Student Services

GW’s International Services Office (ISO) works very closely with the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs to provide full support for international students in all aspects of international student activities. The office also assists in initiating the paperwork for visiting research scholars. SEAS encourages our international students and visiting research scholars alike to take advantage of the services offered by the ISO whenever they may need it.

The ISO provides support to help orient and acclimate international students to GW, Washington, D.C., and the United States. Upon arrival to GW, new international students are also given an orientation packet with information on apartment hunting, banking facilities in the immediate area, campus jobs, and other funding opportunities. Prospective and current students can learn more at http://gwired.gwu.edu/iso/, by e-mailing iso@gwu.edu or calling (202) 296-5254.

International graduate students may also find assistance through GW’s Office of Grad Life. The Office of Grad Life provides GW graduate and professional students consolidated information and resources through various electronic media (web site, listserve, and e-mail), advocacy through meeting with students and receiving feedback relative to the University's services for graduate students, learning opportunities through various co-curricular initiatives, and community building opportunities through various new social, recreational, and cultural events. Visit the Grad Life site at http://gradlife.gwu.edu/, or e-mail or call us at gradlife@gwu.edu or (202) 994-GRDS to discuss your co-curricular experience at GW.
