Immigration Advising and Support

We understand that moving to a new country and adjusting to a different culture can be both exciting and challenging. The CGE is committed to assisting international students with their acculturation process, offering guidance on how to adapt to campus culture and life in the United States. Our goal is to ensure you feel welcomed, valued, and fully integrated into the campus community.

Navigating immigration regulations is one of the most critical aspects of being an international student. Our knowledgeable advisors provide expert guidance on F-1 visa status maintenance, including advice on internships, Optional Practical Training (OPT), and other visa-related matters. We offer valuable resources on how to obtain a U.S. driver’s license, secure a Social Security Number, find employment on campus, and more. Our goal is to ensure that you understand your rights, responsibilities, and opportunities within the U.S. educational system.

The International House is at the heart of the CGE, offering a warm and welcoming space for international students to connect, share experiences, and find a community. It is truly a home away from home, where you can relax, meet new friends, and receive personalized support from our dedicated advisors.

The CGE offers a wide variety of events and workshops to help you adjust to life in the U.S. and celebrate American culture. We organize events that introduce you to American holidays, customs, and traditions, while also creating opportunities for the broader campus community to engage internationally. Through cultural exchanges and themed events, we celebrate the diversity of international students and promote global awareness on campus.
