Welcome to The New School. As a student, scholar or exchange visitor, you are joining a diverse and thriving community of academics and artists – in one of the world’s greatest cities. ISS recognizes the important contribution internationals make to our community – and our staff is dedicated to supporting your endeavors. To ensure your success at The New School, we provide immigration advice and cultural support in a welcoming and friendly environment. While we aim to be a home away from home, we also help you meet the challenge of stepping outside the boundaries of the things you already know or believe to face a whole new world of possibility through interaction with American students and other members of the community.
We look forward to meeting you.
Mission
International Student Services seeks to foster a high level of international education exchange and to enhance the intellectual, artistic, cultural and social development of students, scholars, exchange visitors, faculty and administrative staff in a welcoming environment.
We aim to achieve this by:
- Providing expertise and support throughout the US visa application process and offering advisement on the maintenance of US legal status, employment, reinstatement, change of status, program changes and other immigration related matters.
- Advising incoming students and scholars on US higher education systems and cultural adjustment issues and supporting US students seeking new lands to explore through Fulbright study abroad programs.
- Promoting excellent international programming within the University which connects with vibrant New York City and global resources and working towards internationalization.
Diversity Statement
International Student Services shares the University's Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action policy and the University Diversity Committee's mission to combat discrimination, foster inclusiveness and respect differences both within the international community at The New School and between international and domestic students, staff, faculty and the wider NYC community. ISS actively seeks to include differing perspectives from all regions of the world, Africa, Asia, The Americas, Oceania and Europe in its programming; to promote inter-cultural understanding and offer its services without discrimination.
