  • Travel

  • International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is pleased to welcome all international students and exchange visitors to The New School and help them enhance their cultural experience by engaging in travel to other parts of the United States as well as internationally.

    All international students and exchange visitors should plan any travels to avoid missing classes, exams, and/or other required academic activities. The New School has a strict attendance policy.

    U.S. Visa Services

    U.S. embassies and consulates continue to assess their visa services during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the situation in each country improves, embassies and consulates are increasing the number of visa appointments, including appointments for F-1 and J-1 students and scholars. Please contact the U.S. embassy or consulate nearest you for more information, as service will vary on the basis of available resources and overall health and safety.
